Kyla La Grange: Complicated name, complicated lady

Today's new music discovery comes from spooky British femme fatale Kyla La Grange. Her single, Been Better, is going to be compared to Stevie Nicks - because she has a deep, wavery voice. And it is going to be compared to Florence and The Machine - because she is a bit mad and gothic.

Here is what else we know about Kyla La Grange...

:: SHE IS MUCH CLEVERER THAN YOU OR I
Kyla La Grange studied philosophy at Cambridge University. She knows the colour of your soul and the shape of existence.

:: SHE IS A BIT DOWN IN THE DUMPS
Kyla's interviews are full of phrases like "epic sadness" and she writes lyrics like "Why is my heart never mine?" Maybe she just needs a cuddle.

:: SHE LOOKS A BIT LIKE DEBBIE HARRY BEFORE SHE GOT OLD

:: SHE HAS "GOOD REPRESENTATION"
Kyla La Grange is managed by ATC, who look after Radiohead (incredible), Faithless (legendary), Eliza Doolittle (hmmm...) and Kate Nash (shit the bed).

:: SHE HAS A BACK-UP BAND WITH A BACK-UP PLAN
Kyla may have quite her part-time job as a secretary, but her bassist still does shifts at Tesco, her drummer works in a gym and all her bandmates teach music for spare cash. Their chickens remain remain unquantified.

:: SHE'S REALLY NOT JOKING ABOUT BEING MELANCHOLY
"Some people just have a default mode," she told Amelia's Magazine. "They wake up and feel a bit black inside."

:: BUT IT'S NOT ALL MOAN, MOAN, MOAN
"Being an explorer would be pretty fantastic," Kyla reckons. "I would still like to think that I will end up living in the jungle one day."

Amazing.
