Jozi-based artist Jamie-Lee Sexton is no stranger to the pop and R&B scene, with tracks like the soulful “Take a Moment” and the anthem-inducing “We Are Brave”. Yet, with new single “Kiss Marry Kill” they dip their toes into something a little more intense – hyperpop.
From its glitter, club-inducing vocal countdown “one, two, three, four” the track is an immediate injection of something new. Something glitzy, synth-heavy and sample-blitzing. Jamie-Lee Sexton moulds their deep, soulful vocal timbre with a sound that harks back to the ‘2000s club-pop movements, but also introduces a slew of quintessential modern day sounds.
Specifically queer sounds too – bumpy kicks, background synths and cut-out to solo vocals. It all screams experimentation, evolution, but it screams dance too, and loudly so.
The release also comes with a companion music video that boast a slick and explosive aesthetic, celebrating diversity, liberation and freedom of expression. An authentic and stylish visual introducing Jamie-Lee Sexton’s sexy new sound.
