This edition of Dark Pop BOPS leans into heartbreak, tension, and transformation with Evil Person, the latest from Cincinnati’s rising alt-pop artist KAYTIE.
KAYTIE – Evil Person
KAYTIE turns heartbreak and betrayal into a cinematic storm of dark pop emotion
Evil Person is a cathartic, emotionally-charged dark pop anthem written during a falling out with KAYTIE’s former best friend. What started as a song of frustration evolved into a haunting exploration of friendship, loss, and self-worth. Built around a key change from D minor to E minor, the track mirrors the tension that inspired it – a perfect blend of melody and meaning. With its brooding synths, powerful vocal delivery, and confessional edge, Evil Person captures that universal moment when something beautiful turns toxic. At just 20, KAYTIE already boasts a catalogue of 350+ songs and a rapidly growing audience, connecting with listeners through her raw honesty and fearless storytelling.
