The sisters first attracted attention with their debut Just Between You and Me. Their first single, "Please," was an impassioned plea and remains the highest debuting single by a female duo in country music history, while the album's title track was a top ten smash. The album was certified gold and is now approaching the platinum sales mark. They were named the Best New Duo by the Academy of Country Music and garnered more than 20 nominations from the Grammy's, the Country Music Association and the American Music Awards. They also scored a hit with the inspirational "Somebody's Out There Watching," from the Touched By An Angel soundtrack, which to date is multi-platinum. The song was also a cut on their sophomore project, The Kinleys II.
"We love to sing separately, but there is something that is exhilarating about putting our voices together," says Jennifer. "At certain points when we're singing, the two of us really do become one sound. It's hard to explain, but it's an amazing feeling." "It's like we're connecting on another level," continues Heather. "We know each other so well that we thought that was impossible, but when we bring our voices together, it's a different kind of bonding experience."
Life following The Kinleys II brought a lot of changes, like the twins' departure from Sony Records and their joyful embarkment into motherhood. After years of touring to support their first two records, Jennifer and Heather decided to take a few years off to start their families, which have inspired their lives, their music, and the title of their latest album, All In The Family, which is on their newly formed record label, Identical Records. To further the family connection on this project, The Kinleys turned to Jennifer's husband, singer/songwriter/producer Adam Hughes, to produce, and with Heather's husband, Mark Mendenhall, leading the management team, All In The Family, truly does mean, All In the Family. "Working with Adam in the studio brought a comfort level and an exciting exploratory production style that we never had before," Heather said. "There is a fine line between over and under producing any artist. My personal relationship with these girls and my knowledge of their musical styles really helped me to find the balance for this new project," says Hughes. "They challenged me to help them finally make a record that was all them, full of the variety of music that embodies who they are. I think we've covered the bases on All In The Family. "
The twins grew up in Philadelphia, and have been performing together since they were 8. They sorted through their parent's records and found themselves singing a wide range of music, from the Andrew Sisters to Tammy Wynette, to the Everly Brothers. They learned how to hone their harmony craft by imitating those Everly sounds they loved so much, and eventually started listening to the local country radio station. They soon became huge fans of the family harmony of the Judds. "We didn't categorize what we were singing, we just sang what we loved. And we still do that today," says Jennifer.
"I love where we are right now in our lives," says Jennifer, and in typical twin fashion Heather rushes to finish the thought with, "Things couldn't be better, and we are truly, truly blessed."
Crazy Love

Got moonrocks underneath my bed
And blue socks in the trunk of my car
Hey yeah
I can't think
What's the word I'm thinkin of straight
I think I got a love ache
Hey yeah
Your blue eyes make me dizzy and my feet can't find the ground
Hey yeah what is this feelin'
Am I am I dreamin'
Hey yeah I'm all tangled up in this crazy love
Oh and sometimes
When I'm with you I close my eyes
And it feels like I'm fallin'
Fallin' into this crazy this crazy love
Oh this crazy love
French fries and candy covered kisses
Sleigh rides
Cinnamon and christmas
You fill all my senses yeah ya do (oh yeah you do)
You're like a ferris wheel at night
Under a starry sky
Hey yeah what is this feelin'
Am I am I dreamin'
Hey yeah I'm all tangled up in this crazy love
Oh and sometimes
When I'm with you I close my eyes
And it feels like I'm fallin'
Fallin' into this crazy this crazy love
Oh this crazy love
Oh and I take each breath in
And I feel like I'm alive
Oh I'm all wrapped up in
All your lovin'

Crazy love
The lyrics to The Kinleys' "Crazy Love" express the overwhelming feeling of being in love. The song opens with "Raindrops fallin on my head, got moonrocks underneath my bed, and blue socks in the trunk of my car." These surreal images highlight the confusion and disorientation that often comes with being in love. The singer can't seem to think straight, saying "I can't think what's the word I'm thinkin', I think I got a love ache floatin' round here in my heart." The use of the word "love ache" conveys the emotional pain and longing that comes with being in love.
The chorus asks the question, "Hey yeah what is this feelin', am I dreamin'?" This line captures the uncertainty and excitement that comes when one is falling in love. The singer is "all tangled up in this crazy love," a phrase that shows the intensity of the emotions involved. The second verse is filled with sensory details that evoke the magic of being in love. French fries and candy covered kisses, sleigh rides, cinnamon, and Christmas all paint a picture of a romantic winter scene. The song concludes with the singer saying, "I take each breath in and I feel like I'm alive, I'm all wrapped up in all your lovin', oh this crazy love." The final lines express the joy that comes with being in love and how it can make you feel fully alive.

Raindrops fallin on my head
I'm feeling down, like it's raining on me
Got moonrocks underneath my bed
I keep things that are unusual and special to me
And blue socks in the trunk of my car
I hold on to things I don't need, just in case
I can't think
My mind is consumed by this feeling
What's the word I'm thinkin of straight
I can't find the right word to describe what I'm feeling
I think I got a love ache
I'm experiencing intense emotions related to love
Floatin' round here in my heart
These emotions are overwhelming me
Your blue eyes make me dizzy and my feet can't find the ground
Being with you makes me feel disoriented and lost
Hey yeah what is this feelin'
I'm unsure of what I'm feeling, but it's intense
Am I am I dreamin'
I can't believe how strongly I feel about you
Hey yeah I'm all tangled up in this crazy love
These feelings are confusing but undeniable
And sometimes when I'm with you I close my eyes
Being with you is so intense that I need to take a moment to process
And it feels like I'm fallin'
I feel like I'm losing control of my thoughts and emotions
Fallin' into this crazy this crazy love
I'm letting myself be consumed by these intense feelings of love
French fries and candy covered kisses
The little things you do mean so much to me
Sleigh rides
I associate happy memories with being with you
Cinnamon and christmas
The good things in life are even better when I'm with you
You fill all my senses yeah ya do (oh yeah you do)
Being with you is overwhelming in the best way possible
You're like a ferris wheel at night
Being with you is exhilarating
Under a starry sky
I feel like I'm experiencing something magical
Oh and I take each breath in
Every moment with you feels precious
And I feel like I'm alive
Being with you makes me feel truly alive
Oh I'm all wrapped up in
I am completely consumed by my feelings for you
All your lovin'
I can't get enough of your love
Oh this crazy love
My love for you is intense and unpredictable, but undeniable
I got raindrops fallin' on my head
I'm feeling down, like it's raining on me
I got moonrocks underneath my bed
I keep things that are unusual and special to me
Crazy love
My love for you is intense and unpredictable, but undeniable
