Kylie V - "Lucky Streak"

Kylie V has that kind of mixture of folk-adjacent indie rock meets pop sound that we just can't seem to get enough of hear. Her latest single, "Lucky Streak," is an emotionally affecting song that starts off as a folky ballad and eventually builds to a dance friendly indie rock song. It does all that without expense to the emotion of the song, as it hits just as hard as it does at the beginning. "Lucky Streak" feels like a catharsis for both the artist and audience. It's the kind of song that's going to have you diving into Kylie V's catalog, and is going to have a lot of appeal to fans of the Boy Genius collective.

Kylie V says of her latest single:

"I wrote Lucky Streak during the excruciatingly complex process of getting over someone, while everything else in my life seemed to be speeding up and getting better at a surreal pace. When I started this song in my notes, I was one one hand feeling lost and empty, and on the other hand it felt like all my dreams were beginning to come true–later in the month I wrote this song I played my biggest venue to date, and then flew across the country for another show. Lucky Streak started as a folky breakup ballad, but as I worked on it with Josh (Eastman, my producer and friend), it began to blossom into what I think is one of my most fun songs, and took on an entirely different significance to me in the process. (Yes, all the four leaf clovers on the cover are real!)"
