It rings, it flows, and it sticks; that’s “break up this time,” the new single from independent artist kylekelly, who has arrived to refresh the pop music scene with relatable themes, a warm yet powerful voice, and the determination to carve out his own space in the ever-competitive music industry.
An intense electric guitar opens the track with a few simple yet powerful chords, soon giving way to a softer acoustic guitar that gently carries the singer through the song. The track unfolds like waves of sound that rise and fall continuously, while the lyrics build almost like a plea for a second chance at a relationship on the verge of ending.
Despite its vulnerability, “break up this time” feels light and fun, a clear pop hit with the kind of infectious energy that could easily slip into any high-octane playlist. It reflects the dedication the artist has poured into his craft, especially over the last ten months.
“This year has been surreal. From stepping onto festival stages to theaters across the world to dropping ‘break up this time,’ it feels like the perfect end to this chapter and the start of the next. I can’t wait to scream this one with fans on tour,” he said.
In less than a year, his name has begun to resonate strongly thanks to his debut EP, “a melancholic romcom,” which includes tracks like “my little heart <3” and “OMG,” as well as the later “is there something (i don’t know),” all of which have surpassed 100K streams across digital platforms.
His growth expanded beyond the studio in 2025 when he embarked on an international tour as part of Daniel Seavey’s Second Wind Tour, performing across the United States, Europe, and Australia. His performances at major venues and festivals have earned widespread critical acclaim. Now, he’s gearing up for the European leg of the tour, with confirmed shows in November in Dublin, London, Manchester, Prague, Paris, and Cologne.
With “break up this time,” the artist closes a chapter of meteoric growth and steps into a new era, one where his vulnerability resonates deeply with longtime fans while also captivating new listeners eager for fresh, genuine pop sounds.
