Superduper kyle6/3/2023 Yeah, yeah, but you know I can change, tell me that you ain’t done said the same/ “Now you know I’m getting on this plane, and the s*** you textin’ got me feelin’ pain/ Possibly in celebration of, the California artist has liberated a new single titled “What It Is,” which sees him coming to terms with his girl wanting out of the relationship he wants to fix: SUPER DUPER KYLE RETURNS TO WEBSTER HALL TO OPEN FOR HOODIE ALLEN IN THE GRAND BALLROOM ON MARCH 22ND.Yesterday marked the two-year anniversary of KYLE’s debut studio album Light Of Mine, which was led by the Lil Yachty-assisted “iSpy” and has since earned a Gold certification. But hey, who could expect anything less from an artist whose flagship song is titled “Sex and Super Smash Bros”? ![]() Like a good Hayao Miyazaki movie or episode of Hey Arnold, the night ran the emotional gamut of childhood innocence to the difficult feelings that come with adult relationships. As with Michael Christmas, Kyle gave deeply personal lead-ins to any of his sad songs and was high-fiving, speaking with, or literally surfboarding on his crowd throughout. His relationship with Brick stole the show as usual, who was a major part of the synchronized dancing that makes Kyle shows so fun. Kyle’s set was an excellent, thorough performance of Smyle with only “Fruit Snacks” making it from the first album. Our jokes, our memes, and our references were the daily fare. This modern replacement for the raised bic lighter gave off that same feeling as an episode of Workaholics: Between the Snaps, Game Boy with projected clips from Mario Kart, it was clear that our generation had taken over the media. Hell, even the DJ was Snapchatting the crowd. The expectant crowd universally raised their Snapchats. With Kyle’s turn approaching, the crew at set up a gigantic Game Boy Advance as his backdrop. This is a man who, in a Vice interview, said he had “relatively no friends” between the ages of “zero and 19.” By the end of the set, I’d bet every audience member felt as though they’d made a new best friend with the fuzzy character on stage. He had matched that blend of fun and sentimentality that we knew so well from Kyle’s music.Ĭase in point: For his favorite number, Christmas told us that he loved the D’Angelo sample it used and dedicated the song to anyone who had ever felt “counted out” as he had for so much of his life. The audience half laughed, half aww’d, half sighed. “You know when you see a girl that’s fly as hell and you like ‘daaamn’ but you can’t talk to her cuz you ugly as shit?” he lamented. ![]() No opener could have better matched Kyle’s “Beautiful Loser” persona than Christmas. ![]() “I just heard a fire-ass knock knock joke,” said Michael Christmas, taking the stage. Donning a reflective red fireman’s vest, Dougie played the grindy, bass-heavy music Webster Hall so famously shakes to, earning the full attention of the crowd even as they awaited their headliner. Dougie is a member of the Jersey Club scene who puts a trap spin on things that, in a word, comes out pretty filthy. Having seen an opener storm off stage at Kyle’s show last year, I was skeptical, but this crowd and the openers were a happy match.ĭougie F, it turns out, shares Kyle’s agent-the behind-the-scenes queen of hip hop, Creative Artists Agency’s Cara Lewis. Having released albums at ages 19 and 21, Kyle kept his youthful theme consistent with his openers Dougie F and Michael Christmas.
