“See Through” by indie singer-songwriter Kayla Oh exposes ever-elusive teenage feelings with her diaristic songwriting. Inspired by Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Bridgers and Stevie Nicks, she aims to show us a touch of her womanhood while being unapologetically human.
“See Through” demonstrates Oh’s unprocessed aftertaste of a broken relationship that was hidden in plain sight until her busy life disappeared. It encapsulates the complications of healing after a breakup, where, one moment, you feel like you’ve moved on, and the next, you’re back to square one. The song captures the emotional turbulence of trying to heal and being stuck in the past while dealing with the distractions and demands of a new chapter in life.
Her soft singing style and smooth range dances in catchy music tingled with pumping beats and shimmering music. One of Kayla’s standout qualities is her knack for crafting catchy melodies. Her music stays with you long after you’ve finished listening, a testament to her talent as a songwriter and musician. Kayla’s lyrics read like personal journal entries tinged with metaphors and poetry, providing a window into the universal teenage experience. Kayla hits us in the right spots as she takes us back to our teenage phases.
“See Through” speaks to the heart of each of us facing heartbreaks, growing up and healing from these heartbreaks. Her songwriting offers a comforting reminder that, even in the midst of chaos, our feelings are valid and shared.
