LISTEN: “Darwin” by Kaylah Thomas

Kaylah Thomas, an emerging artist from Bunurong Country (South Gippsland) has released, “Darwin” a heartfelt indie pop ballad that draws on the emotional power of heartbreak and love.

Collaborating with Melbourne-based producer, Sam Swain, “Darwin” seizes the audience from the start and Kaylah is quick to acknowledge Sam’s role in shaping the song’s empowering energy and contributing valuable insights to its creation.

And while their partnership will continue with the debut EP due out in November, it’s Kaylah who shines. With “Darwin” she weaves a charming narrative through its emotive keys, looping drums, and captivating lyrics. Through her expressive vocals, the lyrics spring to life, painting a vivid portrait of moving forward and the art of letting go. It is her ability to create bittersweet moments in her music where personal growth triumphs over stagnation that makes “Darwin” such an earworm.

Kaylah allows listeners to connect with her and “Darwin” serves as a universal metaphor, representing any place in the vast expanse of the Universe where the journey of growth and renewal takes precedence.
