Setting the tone with a looped riser and textured drums with intricate percussion, Kid of the Star System opens Sleepwalking with an assertive delivery of conscious prose, and needless to say, we are obsessed!
Kid of the Star System showcases charisma and an evocative nature, which feels thought-provoking and progressive, whilst throwing back to early 2000s icons like Linkin Park. We also love the synthetic, Daft Punk-esque middle eight and it’s vocal design, which brings us through to an anthemic earworm of a finale.
The (literal) star showcases dynamism with a cohesive tapestry of sound, and a pioneering visual aesthetic. We learn that beyond the release of Sleepwalking as a single, the rising artist has an upcoming album designed to “explore themes of self-discovery, creating a musical journey that engages listeners on a profound level.”
Kid of the Star System, who is also branded the ‘Interdimensional Wild Child’, is a London based self-proclaimed extra-terrestrial. She creates with the aim “to bring a sense of fun and chaos to her music and to envelop listeners in a warm and comforting blanket of emotions.”
With her sophomore album Luminous, Kid of the Star System challenges us to explore ourselves and push past our limitations – an intention that we appreciate deeply!
We love what Kid of the Star System is creating, and have added Sleepwalking to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream her existing discography and await the release of Luminous!
