Live Review: KYE returns with her third single, 'Tuesday' featuring Jerome Farah

Since introducing herself earlier this year with debut single, 'Sometimes' and her Sampa The Great and 18YOMAN featuring sophomore record, 'Gold', KYE has established herself as an enchanting, special talent in Naarm and Australia's R&B circles. On those records, KYE defined herself as a confident yet humble musician, that isn't afraid of embracing her mantra of joy and liberation through music. It's these qualities that's given her music it's glistening charm. The hype train doesn't end there though, with her newest single, 'Tuesday' featuring Jerome Farah being her best yet. Alongside the release of the track, is a music video directed by the ARIA-nominated Sanjay de Silva.

The track opens with lightly tapped keys, a looped drum pattern, and a beautiful guest contribution from Jerome Farah. Then enters KYE, her vocal hits like a warm hug, full of personality and soul. It combines perfectly with the tracks building and beautiful chords, summer ready guitar licks which all mould together to create a lavish brand of neo-soul. The tracks glowing sonic ethos is reflected in the track's accompanying music video as she baths in a garden of flowers. With every release KYE's allowing us to enter her beautifully honest creative world, one that promises powerful, evocative and personal pieces of artistic expression.

Of the single, KYE shares: “‘Tuesday’ is about that person who leaves you a little lonely but you’re willing to wait however long it takes to win them over. They may not be ready to love you, and there’s a part of you that knows that, but you still jump through every hoop. This song came so naturally, Jerome and Jacob Farah, 18YOMAN, and myself were just jamming and it wrote itself. It has the really nostalgic springtime feel to it that I love”.
