As debut singles go, ‘something new’ is an incredibly meaningful and relatable offering, a slice of empowering lyricism on top of a vibrant alt-pop production that feels contemporary, yet familiar. Behind such prominent aural goodness, we find British songstress Kaia Fincher, taking a bold step into the music industry with material that’s inherently personal, vulnerable and honest. The key is authenticity. Looking inward, Fincher reminds us all to live in the moment, not letting the past – or the future – dictate our actions.
It’s a rather crucial theme, one that also connects to anyone being influenced by past traumas or past experiences. ‘something new’ seeks to inspire a deep commitment to freedom, freedom from whatever fact may hold us back. For Kaia, the song also evokes an unapologetic Queer flair, and we suspect that many like-minded listeners will rally around such a cathartic record.
Delving deeper into the single, Fincher explains: “It is about taking that terrifying leap into vulnerability. I wrote this song when I realised how much time I’ve spent worrying about the future. It’s about staying open, even when it’s scary, and reminding myself – and hopefully anyone listening – that this moment matters too. I hope this song gives people a little spark to stay present.”
