KAIS’ Artistry At Its Finest In New Single “Willow”

Kais Khoury, best known as KAIS, is releasing his new single titled “Willow,” and it is incredibly beautiful. The song revolves around embodying the feeling of loneliness in the absence of a relationship broken by betrayal.

The Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer has established himself as an explorer of the unexplored, sonically resulting in creations that meld indie soul, neo psychedelic rock and folk into ethereal compositions. “Willow”… Read More →
