You might know KLP from many places: she was your Saturday night ‘House Party’ host on Triple J from 2015 to 2018, before wrapping up to start her journey into motherhood. She’s also performed at all of Australia’s biggest festivals from Splendour to Falls, and has featured on tracks by the likes of Slumberjack, What So Not, Skrillex and Young Franco. To this day, she still gets messages about her unmissable remix of the Play School theme song.
Having released two well-received EPs, the time has come for the dance music artist to drop her debut album and you’re going to want to give it a listen. What stands out about this body of work is the emotional and experience-driven lyrics behind each song. Have a good listen and you’ll be able to track KLP through her pregnancy, from how she was physically feeling to fear and uncertainty, losing herself in a relationship, to people pleasing and empowerment.
