Kay Iris Announce New Single ‘Last To Be Sung’

Kay Iris Announce New Single ‘Last To Be Sung’.

UK-based Kay Iris have already released singles such as ‘A Tale Of Fate’ and ‘Dead Man Walking’ and are pleased to announce their latest offering ‘Last To Be Sung’

Kay Iris is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and activist joined by accomplished instrumentalist and songwriter Matt Patmore. Their songs aim to inspire and empower.

Following their festival appearances at Lakefest 2024 and Big Feastival 2024, the Hastings-based musicians are pleased to announce their brand new single ‘Last To Be Sung’ which will be released on Friday 20^th September 2024.

‘Last To Be Sung’ is a passionate and tender call to action, asking listeners to consider the topics

of conservation, sustainability and their own global impact. A folk ballad at heart, ‘Last To Be

Sung’ addresses the defeatist apathy that can often go hand-in-hand with these subjects, as well

as the power of positive change, no matter how little the contribution. It is a song of praise,

empowering people to celebrate their contribution to planet earth, and a song of hope, looking to

inspire more and more people to reduce their impact on planet earth. More than ever, these topics

need consideration and action, ‘Last To Be Sung’ is our love letter to Mother Earth and others that wish to help her too.

Their signature sound incorporates Folk, Country, Americana and Rock, with distinct compositions that combine ethereal vocals, memorable riffs and thought-provoking lyrics. Taking inspiration from ‘The Doobie Brothers’, ‘Joni Mitchell’, ‘Tedeschi Trucks Band’ and ‘Fleetwood Mac’.

Creating sounds for sustainability – Kay Iris intend to use their platform to help promote sustainable and ethical lifestyle choices. Past projects include their ‘One Tank One Tree’ tour, in which they partnered with ‘Tree Nation’ to donate trees to reforestation projects, based on how far they travelled. Looking forward, they hope to attain a line of sustainable and ethically sourced merchandise, to perform at ecofriendly festivals such as ‘The Vegan Campout’, ‘Into The Wild’ and ‘Black Deer Festival’ as well as supporting conservational charities and venues.

‘Kay captivates with her incomparable voice and stellar writing’ – Pete Smith – Producer (Sting, Randy Crawford, Joe Cocker)
