On Friday the 11th October, KY will be releasing his 3rd single Shining made with the help of NZ on Air.
Shining is a soulful R&B slow jam about his “personal and rather unfortunate shot at love” featuring layered BV’s with KY’s signature vocal acrobatics.
“I wrote this song to bring some life to the hopeless romantic version of me. There was a point in my life where I wanted to pursue someone romantically, only to realise that they had already been claimed as somebody else’s treasure. As unfortunate as it sounds, I believe this is a common experience. Through this waiata, I wanted to create a safe space, for all those who have been rejected in love, to let our emotions out”.
