Kyle Waves, the New York electro-pop sensation, just dropped his latest single "Picture In My Phone." And honestly? It hits different.
This isn’t just another breakup song—it’s a fast-paced, house-beat-driven heartbreak anthem that’ll have you dancing while crying. Kyle confronts that all-too-familiar feeling when a past lover still has their claws in you, even after everything’s said and done.
The track finds our protagonist reduced to scrolling through old memories. "I need to have some self-control / can’t be scared of being on my own," he admits with raw honesty. Yet there’s that magnetic pull toward giving his ex another shot—though it feels more like desperation than genuine hope, doesn’t it?
What really gets you is Kyle’s delivery. Soft piano lines weave through his almost monotone vocals, creating this atmosphere of quiet exhaustion. It’s like he’s too emotionally drained to hit those high notes, processing these heavy feelings in real-time.
"Picture In My Phone" continues Kyle’s sonic evolution from last year’s Signals EP. He’s embracing a moodier, sexier, and decidedly more mature sound while drawing inspiration from artists like NewJeans, Lexie Liu, and Troye Sivan.
The result? Pure magic.
