There may be nothing I like more than a strong debut. Seeing a new artist take that first step and put themselves out there is always inspiring and admirable. While some artists may not get it all right the first time around, sometimes they absolutely nail it. Case in point, Atlanta based artist HYLYND with his first release, “Permanent Marks”.
After spending over a year in the studio creating, he is ready to start showing the world what he is made of, and this first tune sets the tone. The release is a perfect blend of R&B, Electronic and Pop – all mixed with a touch of soul. The vocals are not only impressive in their dynamics and performance, but the structure is nearly perfect. This one could easily work on radio against other Pop/R&B hits.
The synth based, urban production relies on rim shots with huge reverb, acoustic guitar, atmospheric pads, rumbling sub basses and rolling bass lines up front. Together all of the elements create an emotional yet pumping bed for HYLND to absolutely dominate on.
There’s really not much more to say here. An all around solid debut from an artist I will for sure be keeping tabs on. - Rockdafuqout
"Permanent Marks" is putting us in the PERMANENT FEELS department!
HYLYND brings an R&B Timberlake/Bieber vibe with his own twist. The synthesized sound paired with his smooth voice puts us in a dream like state that has us wishing we could be with “the one." The bass hits perfectly in stride with the melody of the chorus. Pair that along with the lyrics—which would make any girl swoon—and we got ourselves a song that is radio ready. Throw this one on your pop love playlist and let “Permanent Marks” do the rest. Watch out Top 40!

HYLYND är en musiker från Dallas i Texas. Efter att ha släppt ett par låtar på SoundCloud är det nu äntligen dags för honom att ta steget ut och släppa sin första singel på samtliga plattformar. Resultatet är låten Permanent marks, en drömliknande poplåt med snygg retrokänsla i arrangemanget kryddad med R&B-beats. Känner att detta var en bra start på den bredare karriären. Det är ju alltid mysigt med musik som gjord för solnedgångar. - PopMuzik

If you like: Troye Sivan, LANY
HYLYND, born and raised in North Carolina & later moving to Dallas, TX is a singer, songwriter & multi-instrumentalist. Their brand new release ‘Hands’ really caught our attention.
This song is soft yet powerful and dynamic at the same time, falls somewhere between an electro-pop anthem, R&B ballad and radio ready chart track.
We f*****g loved it as soon as we heard a couple of lines. Elements of it kind of reminded us of Troye Sivan, LANY… those type of vibes.

“Crafted out of nostalgic falsetto, sweeping synth patterns, and whimsical songwriting.…a feel good blend of 90's synth-pop over modern indie-tronica.” - The Beat Forest
‘This talent to produce such contrasting feelings in a short amount of time is a talent only a few artists have mastered…following in the footsteps of The Weeknd in merging electronic music, R&B, and hip hop with dazzling effects” - The Revue
“With a cool, eerie vibe, HYLYND has managed to meld smooth R&B/Pop vocals with unique electronic production with great success.” - Verge Campus
“The vocal melodies/harmonies are absolute perfection for the production…With heavy synth pads, mid to high range arpeggiated synth melodies, and rumbling bass lines” - Good Music All Day
"HYLYND brings an R&B Timberlake/Bieber vibe with his own twist. The synthesized sound paired with his smooth voice puts us in a dream like state that has us wishing we could be with “the one."
