Kayls Gets Her Sweet Revenge on New Single “Bend & Bow”

Anyone searching for a new artist who will transport you into a world of bubblegum grunge and unapologetic realness should meet Kayls. With songs that are both rebellious and exciting, the indie-pop songstress is untamed by the dead song structures of outdated pop songs.

Kayls showcases just that along with her confident vulnerability on her latest single “Bend & Bow”. The punchy sass anthem exposes the destructive nature of an unraveling relationship.

“Have you ever stuffed an ex into the frunk of a Lambo? Nah, me neither, but I’ve wanted to. We all have. Sometimes I think love is like a paper sack smeared with grease. What can you see when you look closer? The outline of a gun inside? The heart is an oblique place. So much movement, but it’s still, like fog. Moonlight exposes secrets, and secrets sleep in glass coffins. Everyone can see in. Revenge in a dream is still revenge. Those thoughts are what this song is about.” – Kayls

Inspired by her grandfather, who performed with Sonny and Cher and opened for Dolly Parton, Kayls left home at 18 as she wandered — trying to discover herself and her music. While staying at her aunt’s Fifth Avenue apartment in Manhattan, a then struggling Kayls was forced to go from room-to-room collecting change for Coinstar to buy Rosè and a subway ticket to a music studio. It was there she realized she was in the wrong city.

After moving back to Los Angeles, she floated from music session-to-session, buying tracks off the internet and uploading them to SoundCloud. She crossed paths with female producer Bambor Leany, a former Tyson Trax intern, and found her creative counterpart. Together, they have been making songs in what Kayls calls her “Harry Potter closet.”

Kayls’ voice is like a drop of morning dew caught on a spider web stretching between a Ferrari F8 Tributo and a single desert poppy as weed smoke wafts by and a hundred dollar bill falls onto the concrete and you decide love is an illusion that you want to stay in for one more day. Her producer, Bambor Leany, makes tracks that are like soft serve diamond ice cream pressed into an electric fence surrounding San Quentin prison when it’s raining in autumn and you just dropped your phone but the screen didn’t break and you decide you need to get the hell out of here.
