We sit down with American newcomer Kyler Slater to talk about his new track ‘Black Eyes’ and much more.<\/p>\n

\"Kyler\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Californian singer and multi-instrumentalist Kyler Slater is pushing R&B to new places by mixing melancholy indie-vibes with that sound so familiar to us in 2015 from the likes of The Weeknd. On ‘Black Eyes’, emotionally charged and lusting lyrics are set up against a b-side\u00a0by EvE that is replete with cut-up drums, a jerky baseline and the sound of clinking chains to\u00a0produce an evocatively claustrophobic atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Playing since a young age, Kyler originally favored a conventional band set-up and guitar based melodies, but his sound progressed when he struck out on his own at the age of 15 – his varied and sometimes dark life experiences have played an important role in\u00a0the evolution of his unique and deeply personal style of music. With a debut live show supporting Jonny Craig at The Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood coming soon though, things are looking bright for Kyler’s\u00a0future, and if “Black Eyes” is any indication of what’s to come, this won’t be the last time we hear from the rising-star.<\/p>\n

In a revealing conversation with\u00a0Wonderland<\/em>, Kyler talks about his past, his influences and what’s next in store.<\/p>\n
