Kylee Phillips
Indie Pop
Maggie Rogers, MUNA, Sara Bareilles
Kylee Phillips is a Michigan-native vocalist, pianist, and songwriter of deeply self-exposing pop music. Armed with an arresting, emotive, laser-focused voice, and an unrivaled ear for hooks and melodic contour, Phillips has garnered cult-like acclaim in the midwest and beyond since her explosive debut EP Long Time Coming.
Whether she’s singing about a failed relationship, a distant yearning, or an existential inquiry into the human experience, the integral throughline through Kylee’s songs is the unwavering voice of a woman who refuses to fear her own intelligence, agency, anger, and desires. In a world with no shortage of self-help sad-babe media, Phillips weaves together a sensual, articulate, and unpretentiously therapeutic soundtrack for the lives we live but can’t always verbalize. She lends us an experiential wisdom that could only come from a massive heart that’s seen a lot of garbage and emerged transformed and immovable.
