“Stand Out…A delirious female empowerment pop tune.
The Musician magazine, Summer 2023 [Run with Wolves]
South Bristol’s happiness champion delights us once more with a huge slab of atmospheric pop. Delirious beats are counterpointed by swirling electronic sounds, while Kala’s singular voice emotes a fine empowerment ballad.
I was getting some kind of Kate Bush vibes there!
