Kylie O – Undertow Will Sweep You Away

At just 19-years-old, singer-songwriter Kylie Odetta, also known as Kylie O, has opened for acts such as Gavin DeGraw, Colbie Callait, Mat Kearney, Austin Mahone, and Kelly Pickler as well as headlined hundreds of her own shows. With just one listen, you can see that her music has a depth that goes beyond her years.

We covered the rising star last year at as well.  Read it HERE.

Like a good cup of coffee, music by Kylie O is dark, rich, and velvety and is guaranteed to pep you up.

Her jazzy, soulful sound surrounds and draws you in making you feel like you are in a cozy coffee shop or jazzy piano bar—both, like her music, a provider of a warm sanctuary.

Kylie O possesses a mellow, but modern aesthetic and unique synergy of pop and blues that was shaped by listening to both top 40 radio and legendary jazz pianists.

Her newest EP, Undertow, is titled to reflect her intention to remain true to herself and not defer to mainstream trends—“moving in a direction that is different from that of the surface current.” When You Come reflects her strength and self-assurance: Don’t put me in a box, this world will not determine whether I’m lovable or not, I know that I’m worth it.

 

This 6-song EP is out now and in addition to the gem, When You Come, you also can listen to the featured track, “Stress” below.

Kylie O is constantly touring so see if you can find a show near you here or get updates through her twitter.
