Kylie Rothfield – The Barrel

Hot off the press this week it’s a singer called Kylie Rothfield. According to the label PR “The Barrel” is the 2nd single from Kylie Rothfield’s upcoming album cycle and is a “soul-stirring indie pop track with some soulful R&B influences”.

What swung this for me, aside from the gorgeous vocals (Ann Wilson from Heart fame leaps to mind) and the wonderful production the clever use of modulations in the chorus which keeps this ADHD blog person very interested. As an aspiring songwriter this is the kind of clever musicality I aspire to; I don’t hear such refined use of melody common in songs I’m sent. Bravo Kylie!

An accomplished guitarist to boot, she has also been endorsed by Epiphone Guitars and has recently been featured on Epiphone.com, SheShreds, Bustle, Billboard and Rolling Stone for her performances. Who knew!

The Barrel is out now on major platforms.
