Kaleidoscope Orchestra Drops New Single ‘Through the Clouds’
Kaleidoscope Orchestra are back with a spellbinding new single, Through the Clouds, a track that effortlessly fuses orchestral grandeur with the textures of dream pop and electronic energy. This release marks a key moment in the lead-up to their debut album of original music, Moments Between, arriving later this year.
The story behind Through the Clouds is as compelling as the music itself. Composed by Steve Pycroft in 2019 during a flight from Aberdeen to London, the track was inspired by the awe and liberation of soaring through the skies. Longtime collaborator Alex Dee joined the project, writing lyrics inspired by witnessing his son open his eyes for the first time—a perspective that reshaped the song into a deeply emotional journey.
After months of experimentation with grooves and arrangements, the track was fully re-orchestrated in 2024, introducing a distinctive “4 over 6” drum groove and lush new recordings, resulting in a cinematic, emotive soundscape. The finished version is a perfect showcase of Kaleidoscope Orchestra’s signature ability to merge contemporary electronic influences with symphonic richness.
Through the Clouds is a testament to KO’s ongoing evolution as a collective. Known for their bold reinterpretations of artists such as Fred Again.., Avicii, and The Prodigy, and for collaborations with Cream, Skrillex, and Camelphat, the group now turns its visionary approach to original compositions. The single hints at an album exploring themes of joy, struggle, memory, and the human condition—an ambitious, heartfelt statement from a group already known for their cinematic musicality.
Kaleidoscope Orchestra are redefining what modern orchestral music can be, and Through the Clouds is proof that their journey is only just beginning.
Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!
Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.
First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
