Hot on the heels of her debut album, Savor This, Big Island’s Kailee Spark has released her highly anticipated new song “Restless.” Another hit in the making, “Restless,” is poised to replicate the success of “Sparkle and Shine” and “Universe at Your Fingertips,” both of which climbed steadily up the radio charts in 2021.
Inspired by a stay at a newly remodeled Airbnb that had a very eerie energy to it, “Restless” is an upbeat and energetic tune but with morbid undertones reminiscent of “Tulips and Teeth,” a fan favorite from Kailee Sparks’s debut album.
‘I have a wild imagination, and throughout the night while lying there, I envisioned various scenarios involving gruesome murders in the house,’ said Kailee Spark, ‘And I wished I had a lover there to keep me warm.’
Musically, “Restless” is a departure from the primarily acoustic and ethereal tones of “Savor This” but carries the unmistakable stamp of Kailee Spark’s style – uplifting, unique, and quirky. She is a brilliant lyricist with a remarkable ability to tell a complex, multi-layered story in deceptively simple words. “Restless” can be interpreted in several different ways, and it is up to the listener to decide what it means to them. For Kailee Spark, “Restless” is perhaps a symbolic representation of her constant need to distract herself from the dark, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful elements of her life experiences.
“Restless” is also the first single fully recorded by Kailee Spark at her home on the Big Island of Hawaii. This includes instrumentation and vocals.
“I had to record the vocals in my closet to isolate myself from the ambient noises outside. Maybe I have created a new subset of the bedroom pop genre and can claim the title of ‘queen of closet pop!’” said Kailee Spark.
“Restless” is available on all streaming platforms, iTunes and Bandcamp.
