KAYLA MARQUE RELEASES COSMICALLY CHARGED SINGLE “HEARTBEAT CHEMTRAIL” FROM NEW ALBUM MIDHEAVEN
An emotional synth-soaked journey through connection, disconnection, and the beauty in breakdown
Singer, songwriter, and genre-shaping visionary Kayla Marque unveils her latest single, “Heartbeat Chemtrail,” a retro-futuristic anthem that captures the raw intensity of human emotion. Released from her new album MindHeaven (out August 29, 2024), the track is an otherworldly exploration of deep emotional connection—and the chaos left in its wake.
Produced by Glenn Sawyer (The Spot Studios, Evergreen, CO), “Heartbeat Chemtrail” pulses with shimmering synths, swelling textures, and a cinematic soundscape that evokes neon skies, inner storms, and the ache of unresolved feelings. Marque describes the song as “synths, smoke, neon lights, and heartbreak… a song that lives somewhere between outer space and inner turmoil.”
“I wrote Heartbeat Chemtrail about the internal chaos and emotional fallout that comes with deep connection and disconnection,” says Marque. “It’s about emotional withdrawal, neurochemical burnout—but also about finding power in that intensity. There’s beauty in the breakdown.”
With her signature style of “Sparkly Dark Ritual Pop,” Kayla Marque merges elements of electro, soul, and R&B into an immersive sound that is uniquely hers—honest, cosmic, and cathartic. MindHeaven, her third studio album, continues a journey that began with 2016’s Live and Die Like This and evolved through the introspective 2020 double album Brain Chemistry. Her work consistently dives into themes of trauma, healing, and fantasy—blending the cerebral with the sensual, the spiritual with the sonic.
A native of Denver’s historic Park Hill neighborhood, Marque comes from a lineage of creatives, including her uncle Larry Dunn of Earth, Wind & Fire. Her artistic roots run deep, but her voice is unmistakably modern, weaving ancestral soul into futuristic pop with visionary clarity.
With Heartbeat Chemtrail, Kayla Marque continues to defy genre expectations and invite listeners into an emotional world that is equal parts raw, radiant, and revolutionary.
Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.
Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”
Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.
Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
