“three little words” is really about falling in love with or still having love for someone you know you shouldn’t be in love with, but you just can’t help it. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I know that a lot of people (myself included) may be spending it alone. I really wanted to make something that anyone could listen and relate to you because love is not an easy thing to find.” – Moore Kismet

As we ready ourselves for Valentine’s Day next week, the now 18-year-old visionary Moore Kismet drops their latest single “three little words” via Thrive Music/Virgin Music – listen now HERE via your preferred DSP. The vibrant love anthem features Anna Dellaria and is filled to the brim with colorful synths, crisp percussive hits, and a captivating and diverse sonic soundscape. The new single follows last month’s release of Moore Kismet’s 2023 showcase, SEE EVERY COLOR – a 23-minute mix that has them sharing some of the best music they’ve ever made and all unreleased – listen HERE. It also follows last fall’s glitchy uplifting single “Forte” and a high-profile remix of “All By Myself” featuring Alok, Sigala, and Ellie Goulding.

Moore Kismet is coming off an epic 2022 that included the worldwide debut of their widely acclaimed studio album UNIVERSE. The year saw the Southern California born and raised, non-binary, and pansexual producer, songwriter, composer, DJ, and artist rack up more than 20 MILLION streams, play massive festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, EZoo and Tomorrowland and headline their first ever tour. They’ve garnered support from some of the biggest media platforms in the world, were included in Billboard’s “21 Under 21” for a 3rd year in a row, graced the cover of Pollstar – the leading trade publication for the concert and live music industry, and they were interviewed by NPR’s The Takeaway for the show’s ongoing series “Black.Queer.Rising” – “highlighting Black Queer people’s impact on American culture and society.” In addition, Kismet’s music was sought after for TV and games resulting in syncs for HBO Max’s series Legendary, Disney+’s The Rookie, and Epic Games’ Fortnite while they were tapped to create original music for Marvel’s Snap launch.

Having risen to the top of the US electronic music scene at the age of 17 — the now 18-year-old is poised for another big year. Their unique production style and stage presence has always set Kismet apart from the crowd.

Etherdene’s “Forsaker” Captures the Power of Letting Go

Etherdene’s ‘Forsaker’ is a revelation in both sound and sentiment. The track marks a new chapter in her career, blending the vulnerability of heartbreak with the resilience of moving on, all wrapped in an electrifying package of synth-pop and indie-pop. The result is a song that is both deeply personal and universally relatable, a cathartic journey that encourages listeners to let go and rise above their challenges.

At the heart of ‘Forsaker’ is Etherdene’s exploration of emotional struggle and the painful yet liberating act of letting go. Drawing from her own experiences with the end of a professional partnership, Etherdene’s lyrics are a raw and powerful expression of inner conflict. The line, “Brand new member in the club of quitters, the uniform compliments my eyes,” encapsulates the complex emotions of giving up, flipping the narrative on its head to reveal the strength in choosing to walk away.

‘Forsaker’ is a triumph. Etherdene’s decision to incorporate synth bass arps brings an air of 80s nostalgia while keeping the track fresh and forward-thinking. The electric guitar work from Cory Clark adds a layer of dynamism to the song, complementing its mood perfectly. However, it’s the drums – played by Warren van Wyk – that truly elevate the track, infusing it with energy and warmth that feels almost magical.

What sets ‘Forsaker’ apart is its empowering message. Etherdene isn’t merely recounting a painful experience; she’s showing us the strength that comes from letting go of something that no longer serves you. It’s a message of courage and self-love, encouraging listeners to prioritize their emotional well-being over the fear of walking away from something that seems promising but ultimately isn’t right.

‘Forsaker’ is yet another example of Etherdene’s impressive versatility as an artist. From her early days in the Afrikaans band Kaktus to her current solo career, she has continually pushed the boundaries of what indie-pop can be. With ‘Forsaker’, she’s taken an emotional experience and turned it into a musical triumph that’s as empowering as it is catchy. This track is bound to resonate with anyone who’s ever had to make the difficult decision to walk away – and Etherdene’s ability to capture that moment in song is nothing short of remarkable.
