It's totally a coincidence that, for the first time, we have two consecutive reviews for songs that have the same title. After having surprised you yesterday with Sonata Kay and her amazing single "Ghost", here is the return of Kylie Rothfield with ... "Ghost".
We introduced you to Kylie in May with her previous single "Everyone Else". It had already moved us a lot, although the single benefited from a much more electronic production than this one.
Back to more organic instruments and production for this new ballad, "Ghost", which is an incredible jewel filled with emotion, nostalgia, and regrets.
Kylie sings about a past love that haunts her in the city, no matter where she goes: "in a city full of ghosts, you're still the one that haunts me".
Always with a rather disconcerting vocal ease and a crystal clear voice, Kylie manages to trigger the shivers in us quite quickly.
And the artist always takes care of her appearance, accompanying the song with an incredible music video, showing magnificent contrasts of light between day and night, and staging the loneliness of the artist in the middle of this "city full of ghosts ".
After a romantic separation, we all experienced this feeling of immense emptiness, which it seems almost impossible to fill. The song will therefore speak to all those who have been there, but could also speak to those who have recently lost a loved one. It is often said on IMC that music is the cure for all our problems. Kylie Rothfield provides further proof.
Added to our Fresh Indie Playlist, our "Without You" playlist, and played daily on Indie Music Center's Radio.

Lyrics
I never know if I'm gonna drown
In the emptiness of crowded towns like this
But I can't blame Los Angeles
We all mistakes, we can't fix with time
When we fight for love, tell me what we're fighting for
And don't you blame it on New York
Are you out there looking for me
Like a Cinderella story
In a city full of ghosts
You're still the only one that haunts me
Did you ever really want me
Or were you only feeling lonely
In a city full of ghosts
You're still the only one that haunts me
I've been moving on, even though it kills me
I could let you go, i could try to wish you well
But i can't change the way it felt
Are you out there looking for me
Like a Cinderella story
In a city full of ghosts
You're still the only one that haunts me
Did you ever really want me
Or were you only feeling lonely
In a city full of ghosts
You're still the only one that haunts me
You changed in the spring so i left in the summer
When winter got cold i started to wonder
If running away was too easy
The only way you that could love me
Is if you're out there
Are you out there looking for me
Like a Cinderella story
In a city full of ghosts
You're still the only one that haunts me
Did you ever really want me
Or were you only feeling lonely
In a city full of ghosts
You're still the only one that haunts me
