Phase is inspired by the beginning stages of dating somebody and growing excited and eager but also skeptical and careful while developing trust in a new person. It’s the butterflies and being swept up in the moment while also being protective of your heart and its place with a new lover.

THE RELEASE
Stereofox Records welcomes back Kaiya for a new (and surprising!) single.
The Australian-born, London-based singer/songwriter brings “Phase”, her next Stereofox release after the delightful r&b ballad “Blue Moon” (featured on EARMILK, Triple J, Global Soul & more). As opposed to the smooth, Jorja Smith-reminiscent previous tune, this new gem takes a dance turn, much like Kaytranada blends house grooves and honey vocals.
“Phase” shows another perspective on the process of falling in love, with all the butterflies in the stomach but also the lingering insecurity and skepticism.
Kaiya elaborates, “Phase” isn’t just about the excitement and caution of new romance; it’s also about self-awareness. It involves managing self-sabotage and avoiding projecting past heartbreak onto the person in front of you. It’s about seeing them for who they truly are, separate from your past experiences. Whether this leads to lasting love or turns out to be just a phase, I’m determined to enjoy the ride while staying true to myself.”
Whether you’re a fan of r&b, house, or future beats, this one will surely captivate you.
