Pop essentials and a little bit more

Kemme – ‘Cyclorama’

January 22, 2021

Kemme is a young singer songwriter, who’s never played by anybody’s rules except her own. This much is evident from her music videos, on which she takes a singular, and very personal approach. Her new single, ‘Cyclorama’, is in reality a seamless bend of the primary sections of three very different songs in her upcoming visual EP. Yes. You read that correctly. Her EP is visual.

The chorus is anthemic and is perfect for a live gig sing-along as the punch the air Clubland-esque beat pumps rhythmically.

Then I found out that this 5-piece alt-pop rock outfit is also from Canada and knew I was already home.

Dreams Can Come True: We Premiere Peppermint Heaven’s New EP ‘Dreams’
