Yash Kapoor flooded retro‑futurist RnB pop with hyper 8‑bit intimacy in ‘Secrets In Your Eyes’ –

The retro-futurist sonic architect, Yash Kapoor, blazed beyond the RnB synth pop artists on cruise control as they meander through neon hues and bruises with his latest single, Secrets In Your Eyes, which injects a rush of hyper 8-bit euphoria into new wave synth lines.

There’s a ferocity to the euphonic rhythm section that takes a piece of Kapoor’s impassioned soul and kicks a cadence of visceralism into it as synaesthesia-inducing synths and phasers oscillate around the dreamy distortion-laden vocals, which dig deeper than lust, capturing an intimacy that’s enough to give you your own cosmic fix of oxytocin.

Accompanied by a visualiser, which enables the middle-eight reach a climax of experimental cinematography as the synth lines are stripped right back to expose a frenetic heartbeat, and the video captures Kapoor as he glitches through derealisation before the melody swings back into full force for the outro, it’s clear that Kapoor is intent on breaking through the alt RnB kaleidoscope with unparalleled authenticity.

As a Los Angeles-based producer, composer, and multidisciplinary artist, Kapoor doesn’t just bring a sound—he brings a world. Shaped by time in studios with major players like DaHeala and forged through his own cinematic instincts, Kapoor’s approach is one of precision and vulnerability. His solo material pulls you into that tension, where emotional exposure meets the full force of electronic depth.

Secrets In Your Eyes is now available on all major streaming platforms via this link.
