Keiandra Hits the Dream Pop Mark with ‘Icing Sugar’ [Stream]

Keiandra’s “Icing Sugar” is a song bursting with longing, nostalgia, and wonder. A bricolage of echoing goodness, it begins with a vocal progression that seems fuzzy and distorted, as if the track has skipped unintentionally. But shortly after, these drowning cries are combined with a singular guitar transporting us into a silky dream sequence filled with cotton candy and ice. Keiandra creates this contradictory soundscape that is all at once delicate and full of friction by combining an airy melody with atmospheric intensity. “Icing Sugar” hits the dream pop mark by exploring fantasy and dissonance, and subsequently tangles us in our own reverie.
