LA’s Kait Silva Draped Neo-Pop in Hazy Reverie with Her Debut Single, ‘Soulmate (For a Minute)’ –

LA’s soul-pop-star-in-the-making, Kait Silva, swung back in time with her neo-pop debut single, Soulmate (For a Minute), waxing lyrical on the fleeting nature of affinity in an era where distraction reigns and there’s always someone seemingly more promising waiting around the corner or on the next app, but in’t it nice to get lost in the hazy reverie of fantasy?

The weight of nostalgia against her stark, unflinching exposition, narrated through dusky, dreamy, and conversational harmonies, leaves you floating in rose-tinted etherealism, clinging to the cinematic idea of romance that rarely mirrors reality outside the confines of your mind.

The decadently rich yet intimately awakening production carries you through a haze of crushed velvet warmth without losing its emotional pulse. Silva’s ability to pour heart, humour, and humanity into her songwriting is only matched by her skill in channelling her retro soul pop influences into something that feels both timely and timeless. Years of singing in choirs, a cappella groups, and jazz trios echo softly beneath the polish, grounding the track with a vocal assuredness that promises her upcoming EP will be just as evocative. For your own sake, keep her on your radar, just in case she has to heal your heartbreak with candour.

Soulmate (For a Minute) is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
