KV Lyle – New release – Special
KV Lyle is a soulful singer-songwriter from South West Wales, UK, blending rich vocals, raw emotion, and vivid storytelling. After early performances at the Royal Albert Hall and a series of London gigs in her early twenties, KV took a hiatus from the music scene—only to return stronger and more inspired than ever.
Her re-emergence began in 2024 when she lent her powerful vocals to Justa Jesta’s album Colours of the Soul. Building on that momentum, she released her debut solo single Reflection in summer 2025, followed by Special in autumn the same year. KV’s sound weaves cinematic textures, heartfelt lyrics, and neo-soul sensibilities into something deeply personal and emotionally resonant.
Biography
KV Lyle’s journey into music began early. A lifelong vocalist, she started writing songs at just 12 years old and soon found her voice on some of the UK’s most prestigious stages — including the Royal Albert Hall and Royal Festival Hall with her school choir. Later, she performed as a backing vocalist for R&B artist Mo Molokwu, gracing iconic venues such as Café de Paris in Leicester Square and stages within the O2 Arena complex.
Her performances have long been praised for their soulful tone, raw power, and emotional depth — traits that now define her solo work.
After taking time away to focus on work, study, and family, KV returned to the studio in 2024, contributing to Justa Jesta’s debut album Colours of the Soul. This marked her quiet yet confident return to music, paving the way for her solo debut.
In 2025, KV unveiled Reflection — a cinematic and lyrically rich introduction to her artistry. Her follow-up single, Special, released in September, dives deeper into themes of vulnerability and self-worth, offering listeners a soulful, heartfelt experience steeped in symbolism.
