Myra Keyes—Chicago’s latest musical gem—is the kind of artist you’d almost want to keep secret. She’s that compelling, that raw, that genuinely talented.
Her fresh single "Foam" launches the campaign for her forthcoming album Signature Move, dropping October 24th. It pulls you straight into her sonic universe without warning.
"Foam" starts with those haunting, delayed guitar lines. Myra’s vocals? Crystal clear yet unflinchingly direct, wrapped around a melody that’ll lodge itself in your brain for days.
The inspiration’s pretty cool, actually. "I wrote ‘Foam’ after obsessively listening to DECIDE by Djo, particularly the track, ‘On and On.’ That song gave me an itch to write a weird pop song with catchy drums," Keyes explains.
What emerges is this fascinating blend—electro-pop meeting alternative rock, with indie sensibilities thrown in. It’s grungy but accessible, weird but catchy.
Hit the 1:05 mark and everything clicks. Guitar surges forward, drums build momentum, echoing vocals weave through the mix leading to a bridge that’s absolutely hypnotic.
