Multi-faceted singer, songwriter and producer Kiey is back, announcing his third album with the first English single from the project ‘white boy i sat next to on the plane’. The track is built around a beautiful piano line, allowing the introduction of orchestral strings, rich synths and reverberant percussion.

Kiey balances alt-pop sensibilities with cinematic scale, telling a comprehensive story of his experiences and emotional confusion. His vocal performance feeds into the ethereality of the track, building unusual chords with his vocal harmony and utilising momentary processing to make certain lines more poignant.

Kiey dives into the new single, ”’white boy i sat next to on the plane”’(yes the title is that long) first came to me during many of my working trips to Sapa, Vietnam. I already had this addictive piano riff in my Google drive that I kept playing over and over, thinking how to make a song over it. Bits and pieces of the melody were already forming in my mind but it was still incomplete because I didn’t know what the subject of the song should be. It wasn’t until when I was on a flight back to HCM, where I saw a beautiful guy sitting across the aisle that it dawned on me the idea of the song title! I quickly wrote the lyrics down over a couple of days and when it was finished, I was so excited because it came out exactly as I imagined it!”
