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.

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!
