Kyda is an emerging independent recording artist who made her professional solo recording debut in 2021 with the single “I Know You”. That track introduced a talented singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist producer from New York. Her sound is a dreamy mix of lo-fi and indie-pop with moody emo vibes.

Since her debut, Kyda has released two singles and has already connected with fans worldwide. Blending ethereal melodies with introspective lyrics, she creates unique atmospheric indie-rock that delves into themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the realities of life as an independent artist. This month she dropped her first new track of 2023.

“Playing the Fool ” is the brand new single from Kyda, released worldwide via all major streaming services on August 4, 2023. The track opens on a hypnotic circular guitar riff before the beat lands on a downtempo alt-rock groove. On the mic, the singer sings of the difficulties artists face when trying to navigate the treacherous terrain of the music industry. In the chorus, ambient synths stretch across the soundscape, creating an ethereal dark-pop vibe.
