"'Heat' was one of those songs that just wrote itself," Kylie told Myspace, "it makes me feel sexy and fun AND most importantly, it makes me wanna dance!" On the inspiration behind "Heat," Kylie noted, "I love muscle cars and I love movies like Footloose, where the guy pulls up in the hot car and the girl jumps in and they drive off into the sunset making out...this song gives me that carefree/reckless feeling." "Heat" was produced by Kylie's longtime collaborator and producer Mark McKee, "Mark is the next big thing," Kylie praised, "he is so positive and never without a brilliant idea whenever you need it."

The full self-titled album, out May 26th, conveys a much stronger Kylie Hughes - one rooted in knowing exactly what she wants as an artist, working with top-notch producers like Ben Jaffe, Mike Shimshack and Brandon Friesen. The 12-track project takes listeners through a myriad of emotions, from the darker ballad "Always On Your Side" to the ironic, dreamy mid-tempo "Hungover" - This is Kylie Hughes like you've never heard before. Kylie remarked that, "This is my new beginning and it's about damn time."  On the forthcoming album, Myspace lauded Kylie saying, "While few musicians are open to accepting change, Kylie Hughes eagerly welcomes it, pushing herself beyond her comfort zone and reaching heights of musical ingenuity she never thought possible, preventing this California girl from drowning in the sea of here-for-today pop sensations."

Starting at the age of 12, Kylie has always been writing and recording music. Her debut EP, 2014's Calipopicana, earned her fans and critics, landing features in Examiner, Good Day LA, K-CAL TV 9, InStyle.com, Music Connection and more. Kylie's contagious, spontaneous energy has led to performances alongside the likes of The Beach Boys, John Mayer, Jewel and Michael W. Smith - Just to name a few - as well as performance opportunities like her most recent run at SXSW 2017. Unwritten remarked that, "Kylie isn't afraid to sound different from her fellow female artists. She stands out from the crowd - which is a necessity in today's world of music."

"Heat" is the first single from Kylie Hughes' forthcoming self-titled album, slated for release on May 26th.
