Kylie Spence – Walk Away

Posted on October 27, 2019 by Indietronica Staff

From a small town in Montana, Kylie Spence is a pop artist with a knack for empathy. Starting at the age of 12, she began writing songs telling stories beyond her youth. Over the next few years she would go on to perform covers and originals at local open mics and coffee shops, realizing her passion to connect with listeners.

Walk Away, kicks in strongly with Kylie’s tender voice, progressing to a catchy bridge building up to a minimalist yet catchy atmosphere backed up with wonderful vocal-chops out of Kylie’s voice.

In the track, Kylie is repeatedly led on by a boy she strikes a connection with at a party who keeps talking to all the other girls in the room. Tired of the games, Kylie decided to walk away from this toxic stranger, setting the tone for an empowering song.

LUME – Live With It

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Indietronica Staff

LUME

Looking for a new alt-pop/R&B artist to sink your teeth into? Then look no further. LUME has arrived.

The music of LUME is a melting pot: of ideas, of sounds, of places. Weaving her way down South and ending-up in Brighton, Zara found a new home in more ways than one as LUME, which is a riff on the historic cotton industry of her native Oldham, peppered with mills and Looms.

Following the debut release and title track from her second EP ‘Edge of My Seat’ (a collaboration with Math Times Joy), LUME shares ‘Live With It’.

Working with fellow mad scientist, Emre Ramazanoglu (Sia, Nilufer Yanya, Ritual), LUME describes the intro of the track as “a hypnotic mantra…the kind of mantra where you’re having to keep telling yourself that everything will be fine! This mantra keeps repeating in the song, with double choruses desperately repeating, ‘need to live with it’.

“Even though the track has dark threads to it, it’s more about the need for forgiveness in a relationship and overcoming doubts in ourselves, so that we can learn to trust in others.”

Sounds like: Banks, Dagny
