Coming out of Los Angeles, KC Star is a truly exciting artist in the sphere of independent pop music. With a background rooted in covering pop and rap hits on Soundcloud, KC Star has developed his sound over the years, drawing inspiration from a range of musical influences, including Kesha, Lady Gaga, Carly Rae Jepsen and Dua Lipa.
His pop-focused songwriting is infused with elements of electronic instrumentation, an alternative aura and a rock edge, offering listeners a departure from the minimalist trends dominating today’s pop landscape. First making his official artistic entrance in 2018 with his debut single “SUMMER BEACH BOP” he’s since shared multiple well-received singles and EPs over the years.
With each release, he’s delivered a constantly evolving musical output while exploring themes of transformation and relatable emotion. Now, with his latest single, “lonely love song,” KC Star ventures into new sonic territory, showcasing another side of his sonic vision.
“lonely love song” serves as the lead single for KC Star’s upcoming eighth EP titled love songs about no one which promises to be his most ambitious project yet. This new single sees KC Star embracing a singer-songwriter approach, delivering an epic ballad that shines with pure feeling and heartfelt writing that glances at themes of loneliness, heartbreak and the longing for connection.
Opened by the soft tones of piano as KC’s hushed vocalisations drift in the background, his lead voice enters to thread elegant melodies carrying moving lyricism. Gently building with muted percussion, the song flows with delicate grace before the crunch of electric guitar chords and strike of drums injects indie rock flair as KC’s vocals take on a rising intensity.
Crafting an anthemic sound that intricately flutters between moments of minimal dreamy aesthetic and rousing rock crescendos, “lonely love song” is a spectacular new outing from a talented artist who’s charming songwriting and superb vocals deliver a thrilling listening experience. Reaching a memorable and energising finale, KC Star’s new single sees him go from strength to strength and build the hype for his highly anticipated upcoming EP.
