TUNE Kyla La Grange - Been Better

Kyla La Grange will release her second single, “Been Better” on Chess Club Records, home to early releases from Mumford & Sons, Local Natives and others.

Kyla has already attracted huge blog and press interest for her extraordinary voice and epic sound, and “Been Better” confirms her as mistress of the savagely passionate, twenty-first century torch song. It begins with her husky, almost snarled put-down of, “tell me none of your longings, I don’t need them, or you” and soars to a Phil Spector-indebted wall of drums and guitars that's vast enough to match her voice.
