Music News MonthlyNews, Reviews and Interviews KAETO RELEASES DEBUT MIXTAPE INTRO ALONGSIDE NEW SINGLE ‘YOMM’ EMBARKS ON UK TOUR WITH THE LAST DINNER PARTY Rising pop voyager KAETO releases her hotly awaited debut mixtape ‘INTRO’ alongside new single ‘YOMM’ via Polydor Records. ‘INTRO’ is a genre-spanning collection of 8 tracks, including previous releases ‘U R MINE’, ‘HERO’, ‘CARRY YOU’, ‘DISTANCE’ and new single ‘YOMM’. Whereas some artists save the final song as their go-to slot for reflective ballads, Kaeto sees out her mixtape with a bang. ‘YOMM’ is an effervescent electro-pop victory lap, all pulsing synths, Balearic beats and airy, euphoric hooks, bringing the set to an exhilarating close. The release comes as KAETO supports The Last Dinner Party on their UK tour. The emerging London-based artist is fast carving a space for herself with her unique genre-mashing sound that blends elements of trip-hop, dance and electronic music with punk, alt-pop and more.
KAETO first attracted attention with her startling debut ‘Good Morning’. After signing with Polydor last summer, she released ‘No Body’, which i-D declared “the most commanding artist statement we’ve heard all year”. CLASH remarked “word is already out on this pop voyager, a daring voice carving out her own niche”, while DIY described her as “absolutely melting with confidence and style”. Following it up with the hypnotic ‘Little Me’, THE FORTY-FIVE recently tipped KAETO for big things, saying “The London-based artist has crafted a sound that is distinctly her own”. It was back in 2019 that Kaeto first entered the studio with outside producers and began building a sound that would be all her own, but the route she’s taken since is a mark of her maverick and inventive approach to music. One such diversion was enrolling in Clown School, a move designed to throw herself into something creative and spontaneous and shake off the mundanity of modern life. It's why Kaeto’s music has such a free-spirited, loose-limbed sense of adventure about it. “I’m so unashamed of myself,” she says, “but music is where I go to explore these things.” KAETO has been captivating audiences with her mesmerising live performances, opening as special guest for Haim, Lauren Mayberry, Eliza, Bleachers and The Last Dinner Party.
