Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and her new song, “Into Your Eyes.” The track is off her forthcoming LP Gush, available on January 28th, via Nettwerk Records. On her new record, she hones in her songcraft and delivers a mesmerizing effort full of color, energy, and sensuality — taking inspiration from her synesthesia experiences and exploring her queer identity in the LA voguing community.

Kaitlyn shared this poem highlighting the new album’s themes:
Gush – is about those “Look at this” moments…

shared between people…

It is about flirtation with objects and the environment…
It is about sensuality and personification…
It is about synesthesia and surrendering to those moments when the senses melt together…
It is about “ the third thing” that is created when 2 things come together…
It is about the way the human form is in service of…
it is about experiencing the genius of everything… –KAS

Kaitlyn has been celebrated for embracing her urges, whether towards experimental production, Buchla synth mastery, or exploring the intersection of sound, voice, body, and form. She’s performed alongside artists like Hot Chip, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou, and Four Tet, and composed original works for Apple, BBC Orchestra, Adult Swim, MoMA, Red Bull, and others. Kaitlyn’s song “Stratus” was also synced in the 2023 film Priscilla Motion Picture Soundtrack.
