Kaythe and the Spell of ‘Half Past Ten’

British singer-songwriter Kaythe has been making a name for herself with a sound that blends indie, pop and jazz in a way that feels entirely her own. Drawing inspiration from artists such as beabadoobee, Faye Webster, Laufey, Amy Winehouse and Ella Fitzgerald, her music moves effortlessly between introspective and playful, classic and contemporary.

Kaythe’s songs range from slow, reflective piano pieces to lively, jazz-inflected tracks. She often layers her vocals, includes spoken word, and explores vocal improvisation, giving each track a distinctive character and depth.

Her single Half Past Ten is a jazzy pop tune marked by vocal harmonies, spoken word, and improvisation. The song captures the rush of falling in love quickly and chaotically, with an intensity that makes it impossible to step back.

Half Past Ten demonstrates Kaythe’s ability to combine different styles into something unmistakably her own. The track remains a standout example of her sophisticated yet relatable approach to songwriting and performance.
