Indie-pop and folk singer Kimmy Reader has announced the release date of brand new single ‘I Would Not Stay’, as well as a date supporting Katy B at Somerset House on the 8th of July.
‘I Would Not Stay’ is the new single (out July 27th) from Somerset-born singer/songwriter Kimmy Reader, who will be performing at the Summer Series at Somerset House with What Next in support to Katy B this summer.
The track is the written and produced by the singer, blending the indie pop of Ellie Goulding with the ambient, electronic sounds of Frou Frou and Postal Service. “I felt useless when I wasn’t able to express how I wanted my music to sound, so a couple of years ago I began producing my own music to give myself more creative control,” Reader explains. “I actually completed this track on the same day as I got my first tattoo.”
She continues: “The track’s meaning has evolved since it was written. It was originally directed at somebody else, but it has become more of a self-addressed warning of my own indecisiveness.” ‘I Would Not Stay’, with its optimistic overtones and haunting melody, has received many compliments for its composition from across the industry and her angelic vocals have been praised by folk’s Benjamin Francis Leftwich.
Her writing style is far from conventional. After years of classical training, music theory and production courses, Kimmy set up her own bedroom studio, where she recorded and produced her debut EP Tape. Having gained a lot of local support and recognition, she moved to London in 2011 to study Commercial Music (BA Hons) at the University of Westminster. It was here that she began recording and producing her next EP Towering, from which ‘I Would Not Stay’ is taken. Cleverly taking what was initially written acoustically and transforming it into unrecognisable ambient pop, the somewhat circular EP is intelligent to say the least.
