“And you don’t have a clue…” ✨

Kailyn releases “A Clue,” the first single from her upcoming debut studio album, “ENCORE” recorded at YMU Studio.

An indie pop track that captures the moment when love catches you off guard… when you feel everything at once, but still don’t quite understand it.

Through honest lyrics and soft melodic production, Kailyn explores the tension between falling deeply and not knowing where it’s all going.
