white boy i sat next to on the plane - Kiey (Pop) Kiey delivers a lilting song of yearning in “white boy i sat next to on the plane”. On the track, Kiey finds himself drawn to a stranger in an unexpected an overwhelming way, despite having a lover of his own back home. The mood of unsettling temptation is set by a haunting piano and analogue fuzz with a thudding kick driving the track forward, with the story told through poetic and memorable lyrics delivered by an angelic tenor. The song has a grandiose feeling, with a delicious key change in the bridge keeping things interesting. Put this one on your chillwave playlist.
Best Lyric: “Curly brown hair like a Greek statue.”
