Here is a new one by L.A. via NYC singer/producer Kyyn. “Arabesque” is inspired by French composer Debussy’s “Deux Arabesques” as well as by Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, a play which I happened to have seen a few times. “There’s no real concept of time during this midsummer night with no clear direction of what was going to happen. It’s a beautiful type of chaos,” Kyyn quotes and that is a good way to describe this beautifully floating piece of pop music.

Kyndyl Miller is a classically trained pianist and holder of music degrees, but she also masters the art of creating intelligent and catchy electro-pop that defies the usual clichés. Under the name Kyyn she released five songs on an excellent self-titled EP.

Borne from a love of Chopin and Debussy, Kyndyl Miller, known artistically as KYYN recently made a switch from the classics to more pop-driven sounds. Her latest track “Stay Lit”, moves across with a sweeping sustain as a lofty vocal gently carries away the synthesized surge of her single. Written about the bare necessities, the track isn’t quite about the assumed hip-hop vernacular as Miller explains,

“The general thought I had while writing this song was being in a cold cabin in the middle of the woods, and the fire would keep burning out, so you or someone you're with would need to keep getting firewood in order to survive. It was based on some minimalistic internet game called ‘A Dark Room’, that only used text. I stopped working on the song, but gave it to (producer) Tiger Darrow, who put in all the production work later in 2016. She gave it more ‘fire’ so we could have that give and take between having any fire in the cabin, to having enough fire to last us a little longer. With some additional production by John Cunningham, we were able to finish the song at the end of the 2016. It was about a year and a half in the making, and now it's finally ready to see the light of day.”

Brooklyn singer/songwriter Kyndyl Miller aka Kyyn is back with a new single “Stay Lit”. She wrote it originally with the thought in mind of being trapped in a cabin in the woods in the middle of winter, while the fire is dying, but that can be a metaphor for many situations in life. “Stay Lit” features lush synth pads over a relaxed beat. Kyyn’s debut EP will be out next Friday.
