Artist Close Up: Kailee Morgue Electrifies Dark Pop In Medusa
From the beginning of Kailee Morgue’s EP, Medusa, you are stone frozen by its epic beats. Every hook snaps you into her pop world, and shows Morgue can make modern romances into greek tragedies: ornate and riveting. You listen to her music like you are watching it, which is the sign of a star.
Kailee Morgue – Medusa
In four tracks, Morgue “popifies” the wrong turns of relationships. Like Homer’s The Odyssey, she just cannot seem to find home within herself to, at least, find land in love. “Unfortunate Soul” and “Ghost of Mine” may bop in rhythms, but they play to the general “outcast” vibe that is sweeping new music artists, as with Soleima and Au/Ra. Call it a sign of the times, but nobody is feeling too safe or in place in this world. Thus, imagine how well they “fit” into their own skin. Morgue, being aware of this spiritual conundrum, has used it to make 4 songs that are literal hits.
From “Medusa” to “Discovery”, Morgue’s EP is meticulously made for radio. Its electro-pop fusions dance between dark and light tones to, ultimately, sell her voice as a narrator, and it works. Morgue’s voice is soft but stern like, a young heroine trying to affirm that her capacity to keep going, despite feeling like life is a “giant stop”, is a sign of strength. Listeners will flock to her ability to match lyrics of alienation with rhythms that are out of this world. From More Information on Kailee Morgue And To Buy Medusa On January 19 Click Here.
