Kayla Grace has shared plans for new EP ‘Cats Can Surf’.
The confessional pop auteur gets deep in her feels for the new EP, which lands on March 21st via Manifest Music.
New single ‘a leith ross song’ leads the way – an inter-textual ode, it picks up on the work of Leith Ross, using this as a lens for intimacy, and Kayla’s own experiences of romantic relationships.
Beautifully done, there’s a purity to Kayla’s approach that makes her music tumble down into your soul. She expresses…
I wrote ‘a leith ross song’ after meeting someone really special. On the surface, it’s a queer love song, but if you listen closely, there’s so much more to it. After hearing ‘We’ll Never Have Sex’ by Leith Ross, I found myself looking at intimacy and romance in a completely new way. It made me realise how sad it is that safety and respect for consent feel like rare qualities these days.
When I met this person, they embodied the sweet, beautiful sentiment of that Leith Ross song, seeing me as so much more than just sex, and everything in between. I wrote ‘a leith ross song’ out of love for them, but also out of love for the song that first inspired it.
Tune in now.
