The older you get, the faster time seems to slip away. It’s this universal truth that Willow Kayne wrestles with on ‘The Zenosyne’ EP, a kaleidoscopic collection that perfectly captures the dizzying acceleration of life in your twenties.
Throughout the seven tracks, Kayne demonstrates her masterful genre-blending abilities. ‘Robot Lovers’ crashes through the speakers like a lost gem from the indie sleaze era that’s been dipped in contemporary production gloss, while ‘cola head’ perfectly captures the frenetic energy of a 3am warehouse rave without losing its pop sensibilities. ‘Riots” carefully layered instrumentation reveals new details with each listen, and ‘I’VE GOT THIS ALL UNDER CONTROL’ is a particular highlight; a defiant anthem masking vulnerability beneath its confident exterior.
Kayne’s evolution as a songwriter is striking; the production is immaculate, walking a tightrope between nostalgic references and forward-thinking innovation. Her first release as an independent artist, it’s clear that creative freedom has allowed her to flourish. The result is a collection that feels both carefully crafted and thrillingly spontaneous. Willow Kayne is perfectly positioned to make every moment count.
