Multi-talented American-Ukrainian singer-songwriter Kailaya drops her new single, Montenegro For The Summer. This release showcases Kailaya’s distinctive blend of jazz-afrobeat infused guitar, powerful vocals, and an R&B flair.
Montenegro For The Summer is the perfect portrait of a sunny escape, minus the worry and plus the fun. As Kailaya’s alt-pop soundscape washes over you, it’s clear she’s driven to break down walls and foster a true sense of community with her listeners. Listeners drawn to Camila Cabello’s emotive prowess, Cleo Sol’s smooth deliveries, and KIRBY’s funky beats will find plenty to appreciate in this latest release.
You can hear the heartbeat of personal struggle in this song. After years apart, Kailaya visited her family in Montenegro, who had moved there due to the war in Ukraine. Inspiration struck when she stumbled upon a funky guitar groove that grabbed her attention. Despite the personal nature of this inspiration, Montenegro For The Summer represents a release from those struggles. Daily struggles fade into the background as we’re reminded to slow down and savor life’s quiet joys. Although the melody initially eluded her, the chorus came to her upon returning home, and the song began to take shape.
“The track is mostly electronic production,” Kailaya explains. “My producer, Aubren Elaine, brought her creative genius to the project, adding unique elements that elevate the song.”
Montenegro For The Summer, Kailaya reassures, represents a feeling of joy and lightness. Our lives aren’t one-dimensional; hardships mingle with happiness. To truly live, we must find space for both the bitter and the sweet. Sunshine in a song – that’s what this singles offers, drizzling listeners with a sense of carefree joy and optimistic vibes that’ll stick with them long after the music fades.
