Kate Bush introduced herself to so many with the simple and esoteric greeting, "Heathcliff? It's me Cathy." With no Bronte references for the UK's Kyla La Grange, the introduction will be a stunning and soaring first single, "Walk Through Walls." Featuring pounding drums of the kind of tribal menace that absolutely made Florence Welch, and a withering vocal in the spirit of Bush and PJ Harvey, La Grange has her own single by the hair with no interest in letting go. For the chorus, she rides her voice to the top of arrangement with a destructive and life-affirming lyric, "Get up, get up, get up/my heart is heavy." In the spirit of La Grange's sonic cousins The Jezabels, this is wide open, go-for-broke pop. Soon enough, Kyla La Grange won't need to introduce herself to anyone; everyone will already know her.
