Hey @Lost Boy There is a Goldilox thread because I started one when the EP came out but I can't find it searching on here or via Google bizarrely. I had no idea she was Kay?

I searched through here and Google and found nothing, but assumed you'd found her as the EP is divine.

And yeah, her website reveals all:

Growing up in a blue-collar family, Goldilox’ parents strived for her to become a nurse. However, her passion for music was instilled in her at a young age as it pushed her to move to Vancouver at 17. From there, she went back and forth to Los Angeles to avoid violating her visa, all while DJing, writing music, and working to get her name out there.

Goldilox received her first bit of Canadian fame with her 2011 release of her single, “My Name Is Kay.” Drawing radio popularity. Collaborations with Diplo, Steve Aoki, Cobra StarShip and Pusha-T followed. The singer turned the heads of A&Rs at Interscope Records. In 2012 signing a major record deal with Interscope with the help of One Republic’s lead singer Ryan Tedder. Although after 2.5 years and no releases with the majors, Kay was frustrated and ask Interscope to drop her.

In December of 2014, Goldilox lost her best friend. To help heal, she wrote day in and day out, determined to release more music – something her best friend Stephanie never got a chance to do. On naming her EP Skin, she says, “because it’s the first time I’ve gone to that level musically. It’s raw. It’s real. I’m a real person that’s far from perfect, but I own it. That’s my skin.”

Wow that's cool. I managed to get the physical CD of the My Name Is Kay album. There's a track of hers which is not on the album nor EP which has the word 'space' in the title which I lost during a computer crash. Can't find it on the net anywhere now. Always loved M.A.J.O.R too.

I remember her when she was My Name is Kay. It appears she's moved fully to Paris, but I think the music is still just as good.

I heard Michael's Song on my Discover Weekly a few weeks ago and I was hooked. She's great.

Have you listened to the songs that followed?

‘Michael’s Song’
‘Ketamine’
‘Decision’
‘Touch You Where It Hurts’

Is the start of a phenomenal album/EP. And she’s independent!

Heard all of them, yeah. Ketamine I'm not crazy about but the other two are excellent.

Wait, how have I been sleeping on her... I actually didn’t realize she was Kay when the Skin EP came out.

Skin was good but the new tracks are definitely next level. ‘Michael’s Song’ and ‘Touch You Where It Hurts’ are absolutely stunning, I fully stan her today. Didn’t realize ‘Michael’s Song’ had a video either; her styling and visuals are impeccable.
