“I used to be your fucking God, what a plot twist…”
CYAN KICKS have love on their mind in 2023.
The dynamic four-piece are best known for making unconventional, alluring modern pop-rock hits that are synergetic, introspective and forward-thinking. Starting 2022 off with bombastic empowerment anthem ‘Hurricane’ – an official entrant for Finland’s 2022 Eurovision Song Contest co-written with Amaranthe’s Elize Ryd – is the perfect case in point. Death Cab for Cutie’s Chris Walla was at the controls, and the mix overseen by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Poppy, Architects, Beartooth).
Continuing this year with a string of huge festival appearances, sold out shows and the release of follow-up singles “Someone Like You” and “See The Light“, we shouldn’t be surprised then that the dynamic group’s next outing includes even more bright electro-pop, another incredibly infectious hook and empowering lyrics as they return with “Into You“.

CYAN KICKS have always displayed a happy knack of presenting incredibly strong and affecting uplifting music in a genre known for its emotionally misplaced bombast. As well as their “cavalier spirit”, there is a beauty in the sincerity and directness of their songs. You suspect the band’s collective psyche is mirrored in the short, to-the-point titles that populate their releases: track titles like ‘Mistake’, ‘Heart’, ‘Gravity’ and ‘Endgame’ all suggest action or emergencies, or things that need sorting out.
Their unique arrangements are smart; fine-tuned for maximum effect, employing drops, raps and finely wrought instrumental passages; the sound CYAN KICKS creates always feels emotionally prescient, able to throw a rope bridge to their listeners. This is often due to the deft rhythms that propel the emotional content of the songs and the moments of release that singer Susanna Alexandra can summon up, just when things get heated, and “Into You” provides a strong statement
that we can expect even bigger things from CYAN KICKS in 2023.
