Kayla DiVenere releases catchy alt-pop single ‘Small Talk’
Collaborating with producer Jordan Witzigreuter (The Ready Set), and songwriters Maia Kelly and Zach DeGaetano, the 20-year-old LA-based artist once again delivers a punchy earworm that captures the essence of young adulthood.
In ‘Small Talk,’ Kayla DiVenere weaves a narrative of unrequited love, unveiling a secret crush on her brother’s best friend. The track, born out of her desire for more meaningful conversations, explores the whimsical yearning reminiscent of John Hughes romance movies.
“I created ‘Small Talk’ in my longing to have more than a fleeting 5-minute conversation with my crush every time he would come over. My imagination ran wild and I found myself aching for something like a John Hughes romance movie about a secret love, complete with a boombox outside my window and a mixtape of his favorite songs. After rewatching every romance movie I could find, I decided that instead of torturing myself, I should write this song in an attempt to pour my heart out and make sense of my desire for something more than small talk.”
‘Small Talk’ is out now on all streaming services.
