Kygo feat. Maty Noyes – Stayed

“And that is…well, that’s Kygo, really.”

Tim: New one off Kygo, who you may or may not have noticed is still enjoying considerable amounts of success.

Tom: Which is impressive. I thought tropical house would be over by now, but no: he’s codified a genre and continues to make it work. Well done him. Who’s Maty Noyes?

Tim: New guest vocalist, who previously has worked with The Weeknd.

Tim: And that is…well, that’s Kygo, really. Well, Kygo with a very pretty lyric video, at any rate.

Tom: Yep. Similar instrumentation, perhaps a bit more chilled-out but still roughly the same. Kicked in exactly how I wanted it to, exactly when I wanted it to. It’s from the textbook, yes, but it’s a textbook that Kygo wrote.

Tim: It’s already hit top 5 in Norway and Sweden and is now getting a push elsewhere in the world; to be honest, though, I’m not as much of a fan of it as I have been previously. I’m not sure why – maybe I just want something a bit new, rather than the same synthy chorus and female vocals. It’s perfectly listenable – just sounds like more of an album track, really.

Tom: Agreed. Still, regression towards the mean and all that: he was bound to have a duff track eventually. And if his duff album track is this good, well…

Tim: Though I would quite like to hear a Kygo album, so can we have one soon, please?
