Building on the impressive momentum gained as Sunday Times Culture\u2019s \u201cBreaking Act,\u201d \u2018Kissing Undercover\u2019 serves as the third single from her eagerly anticipated debut album.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delving into the emotional turmoil of a secret romance, \u2018Kissing Undercover\u2019 beautifully captures the essence of hidden love and the longing for simplicity. With Ladybyrd&#8217;s introspective lyrics and captivating vocal melodies, the track showcases everything that makes her music so compelling, blending the intensity of Ellie Rowsell with the cinematic allure of Lana Del Rey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In her own words, Ladybird said, <em>\u201c\u2018Kissing Undercover\u2019 is a super fun track &#8211; it\u2019s the first song I wrote for my album. I wanted to make music that reflected the struggles I had been through over the last two years, and I wanted the production to be bold, moving and cinematic. Each track on the album narrates a distinct story or captures a fragment of a broader one, all within a cinematic pop soundscape that I hope will engage listeners, connect with them and move them on a personal level. I\u2019m excited to share it with you, it\u2019s finally time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally from Buckinghamshire and now making waves in London, Ladybyrd\u2019s previous releases, like \u2018Open Cage\u2019 and \u2018Way Back Home,\u2019 have already garnered critical acclaim and thousands of listens. Her growing body of work is setting the stage beautifully for her debut album, one that fans eagerly await.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen to \u2018Kissing Undercover\u2019 now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_43950\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cKtYXqVuKS4?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Ladybyrd - Kissing Undercover\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/cKtYXqVuKS4\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ladybyrd, the acclaimed singer-songwriter, releases her latest heart-wrenching anthem, \u2018Kissing Undercover\u2019, today, featuring Rudimental drummer Beanie.
