Dublin's Kayleigh Noble will get the week rolling on tonight's Hot Press Y&E series, live via the Hot Press Instagram at 7pm.

On Friday the rising ‘pop princess’ dropped her debut album, Just a Girl, and with a recently sold-out headline show at the Grand Social on the horizon, Noble is a hometown heroine on the up. The pop star’s debut – worked on almost exclusively by women – narrates stories of  dysfunctional love, marked by impressive an vocal range and potent lyricism.

The record encapsualtes Kayleigh Noble’s unique, synthy, R&B sound. While the singer finds inspiration in BANKS and FKA Twigs, her own personal style cuts through - her lyrics bringing the listener on a journey of heartbreak and strength in finding yourself.

This Dublin singer/songwriter is definitely one to watch out for.

Watch Kayleigh Noble on the Hot Press Y&E Series – supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media – live on the Hot Press Instagram (@hotpressmagazine) at 7pm tonight, Sunday October 22.
