Kilo Kish's latest EP, 'Negotiations,' delves into themes of self-awareness and personal conflict through an experimental pop lens. It critiques the mechanization of modern life, combining glitchy vocals and sharp synths to embody feelings of detachment. The EP’s tracks, including standouts like "When I Came to Myself" and "Reprogram," confront the struggle between self-worth and self-sabotage, presenting a narrative of navigating intrusive thoughts and societal pressures. The accompanying music videos enhance this conceptual exploration, depicting Kish's discontent within sterile, corporate environments that reflect the complexities of her artistic experience.
"When I came to myself/I was gone/And no one else/Knew but me," she murmurs during "When I Came to Myself," a slow-burn highlight from the follow-up to Kish's consumerism-critiquing 2022 album American Gurl.
The EP's chrome-plated pop and electro music balances self-worth with self-sabotage, suggesting you can rewrite bad habits into more productive ways of living like you would update your laptop's software.
Accompanying music videos show Kish in dystopian corporate offices and breakrooms, quietly bristling against the sterile environments.
Her terse delivery punctuated by stuttering, robotic backing vocals reveals the ongoing struggle with her feelings of defeat in "Reprogram."
