Sydney's Kymie has shared a brand new single, 'With You', featuring Phil Fresh and produced by thatboykwame.

Sydney artist KYMIE has shared her brand new single, 'With You', today. Teaming up with PHIL FRESH, she effortlessly flexes an incredible voice, and infuses her talents with RnB and pop sensibilities to create a modern take on a classic style and in doing so, she's elevated herself to an entirely new level.

With a universal appeal, 'With You' harks back to classic RnB artists like BrandyAaliyah and dare I say it, Jojo, and it encapsulates everything we love about good old RnB, but pairs it with forward thinking production to keep Kymie well and truly in the future. On first listen, this song sounds so nostalgic you could almost envision it on a So Fresh Hits of Summer compilation, but on closer look, the future-bass influenced production courtesy of thatboykwame, the subtle effects and dynamic range from both Kymie and Phil Fresh show they've built upon those influences to put their own unique take on the much-loved style.

Reminiscing about love lost between two people, 'With You' maintains the emotional connection Kymie creates in her music. The latest in a slew of singles she's been releasing, she once again puts her lyrics and feelings on full display, showing that while it can definitely be sad to look back on what you once had, there's also beauty in remembering and cherishing the good times.

'With You' marks a real turning point for Kymie as she continues to make a name for herself as one of Sydney's best RnB singers and songwriters. With the added oomph from Phil Fresh, 'With You' is impressive from start to finish, and we're really hoping there is plenty more where this one came from!
