Kyle Huskey releases new single

Hailing from Fountain Valley, a suburban city in Orange County, California, Kyle Huskey is an artist that offers an authentic sound characterised by his honest and intimate writing. Taking influence from the likes of Daniel Johns, Ruston Kelly, John Mayer, David Ramirez and Kurt Cobain, he crafts his own unique soft rock sound with bags of commercial appeal.

After making his debut in 2020 with the single “When to Run”, he’s released a string of well-received singles over the last two years. Most recently, he brings us his latest release with the new single titled “Villain”.

Recorded at his home studio and co-produced with the multi-platinum selling and Grammy winning producer Khris Lorenz, “Villain” offers the best of Kyle Huskey’s reflective songwriting. Composed at a time when he was going through pangs of shame and guilt, the song was written on the fourth day of his stint in rehab.

Having done the hardest thing to do in his darkest hour; Kyle finally asked for help and was checked in to a residential treatment facility in Palm Springs. He’d decided to not take his guitar to the centre in order to fully focus on his recovery, but as fate would have it, a six string had been donated to the facility just three days before his arrival.

At 4am every day, he headed to the cafeteria where he would sit down and pour his thoughts out into songs. “Villain” is the first song he wrote on that cheap guitar during a highly significant period in his life, now with over three months of sobriety under his belt, his new single offers an incredibly poignant message wrapped up in his trademark elegant soft rock sound.
