This track captures the volatility of confidence that comes with the process of letting someone go. Speaking on the chorus “Mornings are the hardest when I’m heartbroken, but by early evening, I start to regain my confidence and find some sort of resolve by nightfall. Yet, the process starts all over again when I wake up.” Writing this song also made me realize how much we project ourselves onto our intimate partners — it’s as much about me as it is about them.
Kaiya
THE RELEASE
The Australian-born, London-based singer/songwriter Kaiya comes back for her 3rd single on Stereofox. After the uplifting, Kaytranada-like “Phase” (featured on BBC Introducing & KCRW), she returns to her smooth/deep r&b roots with “Sundown”.
The slow burner revolves around the topic of a relationship’s end and the instability of one’s confidence – often resulting in insecurity of your decisions. The song carries Kaiya’s signature silky vocals, honest storytelling, and a subtle drum groove & warm brass, courtesy of producer J.Ar.J.
These themes are not new to Kaiya – she has garnered 60M+ views on her TikTok where she speaks about psychology, love, and relationships, making this tune highly relatable to almost anyone.
