Vince Leigh’s Single Review: The Cut After The First by Kaiwyn
By Vince Leigh (Ex drummer of Pseudo Echo, Tina Arena and John Farnham) of Australian Radio Promotion for Sheldon Ang Media
Following the remarkable success of Kaiwyn’s first releases, his debut Dedicated To You and the follow-up, You’re My Kind, the emerging singer-songwriter is set to add to his evolving musical story with the release of his latest track, The Cut After The First. Kaiwyn’s accessible contemporary pop style has seen his second single get to the No. 1 position on Pulse FM Hawkesbury Radio’s Discovery Program in January 2023, attracting admiration from local community radio networks throughout the nation.
Kaiwyn’s multifaceted background has helped shape his musical style; having grown up in Malaysia and penning poems, blogs, and lyrics infused with multicultural nuances, the convergence of influences creates an inviting and exciting music blend. The Cut After The First, a song dating back to his high school days, explores the longing for intimacy when one is entangled with another.
Kaiwyn’s narrative involves a fascinating intersection of music and medicine. After completing medical school, he found himself in Tamworth, NSW, for his internship and residency. He participated in the Tamworth Busking Championships in 2015, performing covers and a handful of original songs. His dedication to healthcare persisted, and he remains committed to striking the perfect harmony between his two passions.
As Kaiwyn tells us where he draws his inspiration from, ‘My work in healthcare, especially in psychiatry feels like a double edge sword for me, learning and understanding human emotions and actions to a certain degree with references to abundant of varying psychoanalysts’ theories of mind. It is just fascinating! Just have to be mindful not to dwell too deep and end up opening an endless Pandora box!’
The Cut After The First features memorable hooks, persuasive performances and relatable lyrics and is sure to make an impact on streaming platforms worldwide. The track’s instant appeal will not only propel Kaiwyn’s blossoming music career but also captivate a global audience, forging a place as a fresh musical force to be reckoned with.
