Blue Moon by Australian-born, London-based singer-songwriter Kaiya, a soulful R&B ballad, dives deep into the emotional turmoil of love and loss. The song’s narrative centres on the struggle of waiting for a partner who’s emotionally absent, highlighting the bravery required to release someone who’s no longer present in spirit.

Kaiya’s expressive and emotive voice captures this raw emotion of longing and heartache as she navigates through the highs and lows of the melody.

The track’s musical landscape is a blend of warm keys and a groovy drum beat, creating a dreamy yet grounded atmosphere. This sonic environment complements the song’s theme perfectly, offering a soothing backdrop to the poignant story being told.

Kaiya adds, “Sonically, it taps back into my sensual feminine sound, which is both strong and soft. It’s when I master the art of balancing the two that I feel most empowered as a woman. To achieve this (sonically) I relied on dreamy harmonies and layered vocals to bring softness to the bold lyrics and narrative.”
