We’re excited to be working with Kyle Richardson again on the music publicity campaign for “Can You Hear Me”, the first single from his debut album, “Louder Than Words”. Here is some more info about Kyle and the new single – which is out today!
“CAN YOU HEAR ME” IS KYLE RICHARDSON’S MODERN POP ANTHEM TO LIVE LOUD, PROUD, AND WITHOUT REGRETS
Canadian pop artist Kyle Richardson is excited to share his new single “Can You Hear Me” – which is new on all digital streaming platforms today.
Written by Richardson and fellow Canadians Andrew Allen and Grammy-nominated Jeff Dawson (who also produced), “Can You Hear Me” is the first of three planned singles to land from the artist’s debut album, “Louder Than Words”, which arrives later this year.
Coasting on a modern pop vibe with a rock edge, “Can You Hear Me” boasts minimalistic bouncy verses leading into call-and-answer chorus vocals with big harmonies, and an appropriately energetic percussion throughout.
Richardson says, “We wanted to write a song about inspiration, making a statement, and living your best life. It needed to be nostalgic about the past but also optimistic about the future. In the studio, Jeff took the songwriting elements and we put a fresh pop spin on the sound. I feel like ‘Can You Hear Me’ is a strong musical representation of who I am as an artist. It also sets the tone for the album’s broader themes of hope, good times, love and friendship.”
As the first new music for the Vancouver-based LGBTQIA+ artist since 2019, “Can You Hear Me” is a re-introduction of sorts for the artist and dedicated songwriter. Having written with a wide range of Canadian artists, including superstar Carly Rae Jepsen, WCMA-nominated DYLN, and rising star Garrett Neiles, Richardson previously released two singles of his own to Canadian radio (“Painkiller” and “So Hot It Hurts”) and has lent his talents as a guest vocalist on a number of collaborations, including Bobina’s 2016 single, “Love is the Answer” and its accompanying remixes, which have earned over 1.5 million streams on Spotify.
Having performed at multiple Pride events around his home city (including 2019’s New West Pride), Richardson also wants “Can You Hear Me” to serve as a calling card and a proud statement for the LGBTQIA+ community – especially fellow artists and creatives – to follow their inspirations. Ultimately, his aim is to guide others to live boldly, while also leaving them ready for more music.
He says, “I want to give all of us the confidence to live loud in the moment, make memories to hold on to, and celebrate the good times while you can. Treat every night like it’s your last night, so you won’t have any regrets.”
“Can You Hear Me” from Kyle Richardson is now on all digital streaming platforms. The official music video arrives later in May.
