Kodie Shane Drops New Single 'Better them than Me' – Stream Now
Kodie Shane shares Better them than Me, a moody alt-R&B track unpacking heartbreak and self-reflection.
The 26-year-old Epic Records signee is back with a new single, Better them than Me.
Kodie Shane delivers a smooth alternative R&B experience, reflecting on a recent breakup and the emotional weight that came with it. The track blends vulnerability with polished production, giving space for her story to unfold.
As a young queer Black artist, she lays her truth out plainly — not just as a personal catharsis, but as an open invitation for others in her community to do the same. Her lyrics don’t chase trends; they speak from experience.
This new release builds on the themes she’s explored in earlier tracks like Maybe and Still the One, and adds to her quiet but steady mission of making space for authenticity in the genre.
Shane’s current streaming numbers don’t reflect the depth of her talent — and hopefully, Epic Records will recognize the moment and push harder to get her the visibility she deserves.
