Singapore born and Melbourne based artist KiTe steps further into his world of sleek, introspective R&B with his brand new single “Shadows,” a track that shimmers with restraint and clarity.

Opening with soft, reverb washed guitar and a heartbeat of muted percussion, “Shadows” immediately sets a late-night mood – it’s spacious, intimate and quietly cinematic. KiTe’s voice glides through the mix with vulnerability, his tone equal parts smooth and aching.

The lyrics move between reflection and confession, exploring how love’s imprint can remain long after the person is gone: “I still see your shadow in my room,” he admits, a lyric that has such authentic vibes.

Production wise, “Shadows” strikes that delicate balance between polish and pulse. The beat is crisp and the synth textures breathe. You can hear echoes of Keshi, and Bryson Tiller – that signature fusion of R&B minimalism and pop sophistication – yet KiTe’s touch is distinctly his own. He leans into emotional nuance, favoring mood and subtlety.

With this new single, KiTE establishes himself as a promising new voice in contemporary R&B and pop, with a moody and soulful release that feels tailor made for those solitary moments when the night gets too quiet and memory starts to hum.
