Kyle Waves is rather adamant about the inspiration behind his latest EP. A monumental pop offering, ‘Signals’ feels bright and uplifting, yet also reflective and brooding. Fully framed in contemporary culture, the record sparks a journey of reckoning with the various phases of romantic love – whether it’s uncontrolled euphoria or dark toxicity. Incredibly relatable and relevant, ‘Signals’ is bound to connect with a large audience out there, a feature that will only be amplified by Waves’ charming, luscious vocals.
Developing mellow melodies and mainstream motifs, the New York-based creative packs the EP with a stream of dynamic electronic pop, with distant R&B and EDM influences playing a hidden, yet pivotal role. The overall production is the perfect match for the lyricism behind ‘Signals’, making for a listening experience that feels precious and vibrant, always leaving Waves’ cathartic voice to dominate the aural panorama.
A member of the Asian Queer community, Kyle delves deeper into the EP: “It is all about the different dynamics in relationships, from the sweet moments of love at first sight, to the complications and toxic circumstances that sometimes arise. I wanted to encapsulate different moments of my personal journey with love and heartbreak and my inner monologue when I was experiencing them.”
