New Love

Yorkshire raised and London based producer Kloyd, real name Kate Lloyd, releases her debut mixtape New Love, via Anjunadeep. 

‘Kate’s Theme’ is a beautiful, melancholic epilogue to the mixtape, built heavily around a freeform piano riff. Speaking on the track she adds “All the piano was improvisation of a composition that just flowed out on the spot and recorded in one take with layers of piano and synth to accompany. I remember feeling extremely sad when I wrote this and originally titled it ‘nevermind’. I cried quite a lot writing it. It was cathartic because I was disappointed and hurt, but the track provided a shelter and comfort - like a hug. I’m trying to say it’s all going to be ok and things will work out how they will work out.”

The upcoming mixtape brings together a network of female collaborators and continues Kloyd’s distinctive blend of textured production, emotive songwriting and cinematic sound design. Drawing comparisons to artists such as Four Tet, Massive Attack, Bonobo and Burial, the project moves fluidly between intimate, atmospheric moments and heavier, club-rooted compositions.
