A Midnight Confession from KiTe with “I See You Cryin'”

KiTe’s new single, “I See You Cryin’,” is the kind of song that slips into your evening without asking permission. It’s gentle, and there is no big dramatic punch or sweeping climax but instead just this steady, slow ache that settles in and doesn’t leave.

The production is the first thing that grabs you, mostly because it is sparse in a really intentional way, like he cleared out everything unnecessary so the emotion could hang in the air.

Soft chords, a pulse of a beat and KiTe’s voice sitting right in the middle of it is all just enough to hold the feeling in place without crowding it.

And his voice is understated, almost conversational at times. He is not trying to show off but is just telling the truth the way you do at 1 a.m. when you are too tired to perform for anyone.

What gives the song its atmosphere is how naturally it came together. KiTe said the melody just arrived. This effortlessness shows because the whole track has a dreamlike quality, inspired by a film about unrequited love that stuck with him emotionally. It makes sense – “I See You Cryin'” is almost like a half remembered story you are trying to piece back together.

The simplicity of the song works in its favor. It manages to capture that strange mix of wanting to comfort someone while quietly realizing that you have lost them already. It’s a lonely feeling.

There’s a touch of influence from artists like Keshi and DEAN, but KiTe is very much carving out his own lane. His sound is cleaner, a bit more airy and a lot more emotionally up close.

“I See You Crying'” is just honest. And it succeeds in this. If KiTe keeps leaning into this softer, more introspective side of his writing, he is going to build a catalogue of songs that stay with the listener.

About KiTe

KiTe is a Singapore born, Melbourne based R&B/Pop artist with a talent for turning small, intimate moments into spacious atmospheric songs. He started producing music at sixteen from a dining table setup, long before he left his engineering studies to pursue music full-time.

“Theatre trained me to tell stories through other people’s words … my original music lets me tell my own.”

A Star in the Making – Zoey Madison Glows on Her Debut EP “Electric”

At just 17, Zoey Madison’s debut EP Electric bursts with the kind of energy that only comes from someone discovering the full power of her voice. It’s bright, emotional and impeccably crafted but what really stands out is Zoey herself – a powerhouse vocalist with a four octave range.

The title track, “Electric” sets the tone with a burst of shimmering pop that captures the dizzy rush of new love and the desire to make it last forever. There’s a touch of cinematic romance in the lyrics, a nod to Romeo and Juliet and a pulse of teenage recklessness but it’s all grounded by Zoey’s voice. She sings with a sincerity which, for any artist is a tricky balance let alone one at the very beginning of their career.

From there, she takes listeners deeper. “Scars” is the emotional centerpiece. It’s a sweeping ballad that strips everything back and lets Zoey’s voice carry the story. Opening with the haunting line “Be gentle, I bruise easily,” the song builds to an almost cinematic release, closing with a whistle tone.

“Move” lightens the mood with its more laid back groove and glowing guitar textures. This is the kind of song that is like summer in motion – a gentle push towards joy and possibility. Zoey calls it “a reminder to take action and embrace happiness”, and you can hear this spirit when she sings “I’m no longer seeing in blue, I’ve got technicolor dreams coming true.”

The EP closes with “Lullabies,” which is a soft, introspective track. It’s about holding on to love that’s already slipped away, and it shows a different side of Zoey – quieter and more restrained. The harmonies swell and shimmer, wrapping around her voice.

Electric may be Zoey Madison’s first project, but it is truly a statement of her talent. She is not chasing trends or hiding behind production; she is leading with emotion, honesty and a voice that refuses to be ignored.

Whether she’s belting out joy or whispering heartbreak, there’s an undeniable spark running through everything she sings.

Kenzy Kyx Spins Heartbreak Into Pop Gold on Her Debut EP “Glitter”

There’s a giddy rush to Kenzy Kyx’s debut EP Glitter that is much like a friend pulling you onto the dance floor before you even finish your drink.

Across four tracks she takes the bruises of her twenties – bad love, self-doubt, tiny wins – and spins them into fizzy and defiant pop. It’s pop, but pop with teeth and personality, full of sly jokes and big choruses.

Listen here:

Kenzy’s voice is the glue. It has that grainy warmth that recalls Stevie Nicks in her prime, but she flips it over sleek modern beats that nod to Sabrina Carpenter and Gwen Stefani.

You can hear the path she’s taken. Scribbling lyrics as a kid, falling for poetry in high school, a formative trip to Nashville that convinced her to jump in with both feet. She writes and composes everything herself, which gives these songs a diary entry honesty even when the production is sparkling.

The opener, “Take It Easy” has an easy breezy flow with shimmering vocal harmonies and sets the tone for the EP.

The title track “Glitter” elevates the collection with its shimmering, euphoric soundscape. Layered synths, groovy bass lines and bold melodies create a playful yet empowering anthem about transformation and embracing change. It’s a song that encourages listeners to dance, shine and revel in the beauty of stepping into their own power, blending current pop hooks with subtle nods to timeless disco.

Then there’s Kenzy’s bold cover of No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.” Rather than a straight copy, Kenzy reimagines the 90’s classic in her own voice – slower, moodier, but still melodic – giving the track a depth that contrasts beautifully with the EP’s brighter moments. Honoring Gwen Stefani’s original while making it fit her sonic world, it reflects the EP’s recurring theme of letting go and moving forward.

Lead single “I’m So Glad” is the obvious standout. It’s a glittery breakup anthem built for shouting in your car with the windows down. But the other songs on Glitter carry the same playful defiance, mixing hooks with a sly wink that makes you feel like you’re in on the joke.

There’s vulnerability here too, but Kenzy has that skill for turning messy feelings into something you actually want to move to.

Glitter stands out and is not a cautious first step by any means. Kenzy Kyx is not just trying to mimic anyone else’s lane. She is building her own, one glitter coated hook at a time, and inviting listeners to come along for the ride.

Kenzy Kyx Shines with Playful Liberation on “I’m So Glad”

Kenzy Kyx has never been afraid to bare her soul, but with “I’m So Glad” she proves that empowerment can be just as powerful as vulnerability.

Where her earlier work leaned into more melancholy, this new single bursts with cheeky confidence. It’s a glitter coated reminder that joy can be the sweetest revenge.

Listen here:

From the first shimmering notes, “I’m So Glad” struts in like the soundtrack to your best post breakup night out. The production, which is helmed by Kyle Delfatti and Max Bunster at Wildwood Sound, sparkles with playful details. It has tight rhythms, buoyant melodies and flourishes that keep the song light on its feet. You can feel the late night studio energy baked into every bar, a mix of laughter, creativity and a shared obsession with pop done right.

At the center of it all is Kenzy’s voice. Sultry yet soaring, carrying both the relief and the sass of the lyrics. There’s a interesting blend of influences here. Sabrina Carpenter’s wink, Gwen Stefani’s bite, and just a hint of Stevie Nicks’s timeless edge. But Kenzy is completely unique with her vocals. She is in control, playful and unafraid to poke fun at a chapter that once felt heavy.

What makes the track stick, though, is its universality.

“I’m So Glad” captures that euphoric moment when the weight finally lifts and you realize you’re free. It’s not about heartbreak – it’s about release. And in a pop landscape that sometimes takes itself too seriously, Kenzy’s tongue in cheek liberation song feels like a breath of fresh air.

With cover art shot by Athena Khalifeh, the single looks like freedom too. Together, the visuals and the music form a bold statement. Kenzy Kyx isn’t just moving forward, she’s dancing forward and is inviting the rest of us to join her.
