Ula’s new single “So Kind” arrives with a vibrant splash of originality that feels both playful and polished. From the first moment, the track captures your attention with its bold synth textures and an irresistible bassline that echoes an offbeat summer vibe. It’s a clear sign of Ula’s keen ear as a producer, which comes as no surprise given her work as a full-time sound engineer in London.
What sets “So Kind” apart is its mix of lighthearted charm and underlying wit. Inspired by a celebrity crush, the song pokes fun at romantic obsession without ever feeling mocking. That playful edge is perfectly mirrored in the quirky stylophone melodies, an instrument unearthed in a Vienna studio’s basement, and layered under dynamic drum loops that balance unconventional rhythm with mainstream appeal.
The accompanying video only amplifies the single’s off-centre charisma. Lawnmowers become glamorous props, and seemingly random visuals like crowbars and hammers lend a cheeky surrealism to the whole experience. It all reinforces Ula’s refusal to take herself too seriously, an attitude that shines through in every synth swell and vocal turn.
This debut feels like a journey across pop’s many moods: playful, dramatic, quirky, all wrapped in a hook that lingers long after each listen. In an era where too much music blends into a bland routine, “So Kind” reminds us how thrilling pop can be when it dares to be different.
