Kyle Waves Drops Hypnotic New Single «Rose‑Tinted» 17 April — A Y2K Dance‑Pop Fever Dream

Kyle Waves releases «Rose‑Tinted», a Y2K‑inspired dance‑pop anthem exploring self‑doubt, late‑night emotions, and the chaos of your 20s. Out 17 April 2026.

Kyle Waves is turning heartbreak, confusion, and late‑night soul‑searching into pure pop gold — and his new single «Rose‑Tinted», out 17 April 2026, might be his most addictive release yet.

The New York‑based dance‑pop riser, originally from Singapore, is fast becoming one of the most exciting new voices in the Asian and queer music scenes. Now he’s back with a shimmering, Y2K‑kissed synth‑pop track that captures the chaos of your 20s — the self‑doubt, the overthinking, the nights where you feel lost but somehow more alive than ever.

Waves describes the song as «dancing in slow motion under pink neon lights in the club. It’s 3am, and you’re kind of in your feelings, but despite that, you’re still dancing, and you feel more alive than ever». And honestly, that’s exactly what «Rose‑Tinted» sounds like: a hazy, hypnotic, late‑night anthem built for anyone who’s ever questioned their path but kept moving anyway.

Blending dance, synth‑pop, and a glossy Y2K edge, Waves channels influences like Troye Sivan, Lexie Liu, NewJeans, and Tinashe while carving out a sound that’s unmistakably his own. His music leans into the messy, complicated corners of love, loss, and friendship — the stuff everyone feels but rarely says out loud. With over a decade of vocal and dance training, he pairs his tracks with sharp choreography and visually rich music videos that push the emotional narrative even further.

It’s no surprise he’s already gaining traction. Waves has landed spins on Singapore’s 987FM, earned multiple placements on the aBreak48 Radio Chart, and even inspired a stage production — Going to the Top — at the Tampa International Fringe Festival. His momentum is only growing, and Rose‑Tinted feels like the moment everything clicks into place.

If you’re into sleek synths, emotional late‑night pop, and artists who turn vulnerability into something you can dance to, Kyle Waves is one to watch — and «Rose‑Tinted» is the track you’ll have on repeat long after the sun comes up.
