Kyla La Grange
Been Better

unsigned/ Chess Club

WE SAY

Since we first featured Kyla La Grange with her debut single Walk Through Walls in January, label and publisher interest has intensified and the coverage has continued to come for the Watford-born artist. That track was the longest running No. 1 ever on the Amazing Radio chart. Been Better comes out on Chess Club, the tastemaker label that has been home to first releases from Mumford & Sons, Local Natives and more. Press continues to roll in with interviews in The Mirror and Evening Standard, plus rave reviews from The Guardian, Times and Independent as well as widespread and supportive blog coverage (see here). Her fans at radio are increasing in numbers too - Rob da Bank and Huw Stephens at Radio 1, Steve Lamacq and Jo Whiley at Radio 2 and Huey Morgan and Cerys Matthews at 6Music. Bestival, Lounge on the Farm and Secret Garden Party are all on La Grange's festival itinerary this summer, and she has recently supported Wolf Gang and Glasvegas. Check out the video, which had its premiere on NME.com. Big, well-creafted dramatic pop backed by that knock-out voice.

London gigs: June 16, XOYO EC2 (w/Wolf Gang) / July 12, Chess Club single launch party - The Lexington N1
