⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 5 out of 5.A soulful indie pop gem that’s ready to tug at your heart.
Kylie Rothfield, an indie-pop singer-songwriter and guitarist, has earned high praise from Alicia Keys, who describes her as “a powerful flower with so much heart, talent, and vocal strength.” Since signing her first publishing deal in 2015, her music has been featured on ABC, NBC, MTV, and E!, and she’s also been endorsed by Epiphone Guitars. Rothfield’s work has appeared in Bustle, Billboard, and Rolling Stone. Her latest release, “The Barrel,” showcases her emotive storytelling and is accompanied by a lyric video.
With a nostalgic mix of mellow, retro-inspired instrumentals and catchy beats, “The Barrel” by Kylie Rothfield creates an emotive soundscape that enhances its introspective lyrics. Phrases like “I say it’s easier to let things go, ’cause I don’t wanna be alone” and “I’ve given my all and got nothing left to show for it” delve into the struggle of being stuck in a cycle of compromise in relationships. Rothfield’s soulful vocals bring a timeless warmth, making this indie-pop track a resonant anthem for breaking free of unhealthy patterns.
