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.

Dysmusia Keeps “In your eyes” Honest, Warm And Straight To The Point

It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.

The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.

What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.

The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.

Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.

“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
