KRONIS – Next To Her (feat. Samantha Ava) [Official Music Video]

Next To Her is an original song written and produced by KRONIS — created independently and driven by emotion, restraint, and intention.

The track features a standout vocal performance by Samantha Ava, an exceptional up-and-coming Canadian country-rock artist whose voice adds depth, contrast, and undeniable character to the song.

This recording is deeply personal.
KRONIS’ mother appears on backing vocals, and his father’s violin frames the song — opening and closing the track with a quiet, human touch that gives Next To Her its emotional bookends. It’s not studio gloss for the sake of polish — it’s family, memory, and presence captured in sound.

Lyrically, Next To Her explores longing, proximity, and emotional gravity — the feeling of being close without fully arriving. The production stays deliberate and spacious, letting the performances breathe rather than forcing momentum.
