Photo Credit: Uma FodorKayla Oh is an up and coming indie singer-songwriter, at only 19 she is still studying contemporary voice at NYU. Oh’s style captures that feeling of being a teenage girl, whimsy love and heartbreak and what young womanhood really feels like. Drawing influence from the big names of Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Bridgers and Stevie Nicks, Oh is taking the unapologetic approach to her song writing while also keeping that free spiritedness to her writing.
See Through is a slow ballad talking about a first love betrayal and moving and growing on from those feelings.
“I wrote ‘See Through’ about a relationship that ended right before we both went to college. It delves into that confusing feeling you experience when trying to move on from a person, where one moment it feels like you’ve fully healed and the next it feels like you’ve taken 10 steps backwards. At the time that I wrote the song, I was kept incredibly busy by the adjustment period that is starting college, and felt as if I’d healed from the breakup. The truth was, I had never really processed my heartbreak- and the healing I thought I’d felt was just the relief of being distracted. Writing ‘See Through’ was the first time I admitted to myself that I wasn’t as put together as I hoped to be. The result was a cathartic confession, and some of my most stark and relatable writing. Though I’ve come a long way in my healing since I wrote this song, I’m still really proud of what I was able to articulate then and hope the vulnerability I tapped into consoles listeners like it did for me.”
