Kyla Kilzer and Max Noir

Brighton-based singer-songwriter Kyla Kilzer and Jersey-born producer Max Noir met by chance, and their first session together sparked an instant connection; “It was completely unplanned,” Kyla says, “and yet it’s led to so many beautiful things.”

Kyla and Max craft a world that’s equal parts intimate and expansive, music that feels like a conversation between two people learning, healing, and experimenting in real time. It’s the sound of patience rewarded, of lessons learned and cycles broken. A gentle reminder that taking your time is sometimes the fastest way to grow.

They mark their signing to Tru Thoughts with the release of their debut single, “Break Through” – a trip-hoppy meditation on self-growth, cycles, and learning to show yourself grace. The serendipity of their meeting pulses through “Break Through” – it’s a song that feels both grounded and otherworldly, built from Max’s hazy, off-kilter production and Kyla’s instinctive lyricism.
