Long-time listeners to Kingdom Kome’s projects will notice that he has unlocked a new chamber lyrically in this release. The emcee said “It’s a more spiritually focused album. I wanted to touch on a lot more esoteric and occult sciences on this one.” This extends to the subtitle Ein Sof which in terms of Kabbalah (the ancient Hebrew mystical practice that explores the nature of God and the Universe) which translates as “the endless one.” As Kingdom Kome states “there’s breadcrumbs throughout the album for people to do their own research.

Sid Dorey’s Middle Seat Is the Soundtrack to Surviving Your Twenties

If your twenties feel like a long, weird road trip with no GPS signal, Middle Seat is the album playing on loop from the auxiliary cord.

With their second EP, rising indie pop artist Sid Dorey has crafted something that sounds like growing pains, healing hugs, and that one late-night car ride where everything almost makes sense. Drawing on personal experiences with loss, strained family ties, and the complexities of queer love, Dorey’s latest project is a time capsule for a generation trying to piece itself together — without a manual.

Dorey’s lyricism is unflinching. On Unlovable, they take on the voice in your head that tells you you’re too broken to be loved. On What Comes With Heaven, they confront the fallout of religious trauma with eerie grace, creating a track that feels both sacred and defiant. These aren’t just songs — they’re survival anthems.

But it’s not all shadows. Middle Seat offers just as much warmth as it does weight. It’s about choosing who’s in your life. You can’t control everything, but you can control who’s around you. That’s power.

That message resonates deeply with their growing fanbase, many of whom first found Dorey through their viral TikTok performances — stripped-down moments of vulnerability that mirror the intimacy of the EP. Their authenticity has led to placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday and Apple’s New in Indie, but it’s clear Dorey is after something bigger than numbers: connection.

Sid Dorey isn’t just part of the next wave of indie pop — they’re shaping its emotional language. Middle Seat doesn’t pretend to fix everything, but it does something better: it reminds you that you’re not alone in the mess.

So next time you’re stuck in life’s middle seat, turn this on. It won’t solve your problems — but it might just help you stay.
