Wonderkiss (TK Wonder + Kissey) – ‘Heartfukk, Part 1′ – *FREE EP*
In 2008, Kissey and TK Wonder first met at a show at The Knitting Factory in Tribeca. They were separately performing – Kissey with Ty and TK with Taylor McFerrin. TK Wonder had a prior history of being a celebrated name in the poetry slam circuit, as well as being a bonafide star-to-be in the hip hop world (sharing the stage with the likes of Nas, Erykah Badu, Raphael Saadiq, Duffy, Talib Kweli and J*Davey). Kissey was also an international performer already, splitting lineups with artists such as The Roots, Dizzee Rascal, Guilty Simpson and Black Milk. As a singer, besides releasing her neo-soul/broken beat solo album (‘Plethora’ on R2, as Kissey Asplund) in 2008, she’d also created vocals for Zed Bias, Dorian Concept, Rustie and Machinedrum, to name a few.
A short while after Kissey and TK crossed paths at Knitting Factory, in the middle of ’09 Kissey started to learn the art of beat-making for her new self-produced solo project. With instant chemistry and mutual respect for each other’s work, last year Kissey had the idea to ask TK to sing on some of her unused productions. In the autumn of 2010, TK journeyed from Brooklyn to Kissey’s home studio in the Upper West Side. The moment she heard the beats Kissey had been cooking up, she couldn’t jump to the mic fast enough; a flurry of ideas came in the shape of razor-sharp words and fluorescent synths. A few BPM’s later, Wonderkiss was born.

Last September, the internet discovered that Kissey has completely redefined herself over the past two years – her ‘Cry’ single (given as a free download) was the first showcase of her production skills. She composed, produced, wrote the lyrics, sang and mastered the entire track on her own. It also became clear that she’s quite adept at creating beautifully haunting music videos.
With ‘Heartfukk (Part 1)’ Kissey has come correct with her second showcase of production/mixing/mastering, with all lyrics and vocal courtesy of the vibrant TK Wonder. Together, Wonderkiss has created a future-pop sound that takes in slamming poetry and the slamming 4/4 sound of the underground simultaneously.
The moment ‘Get Down & Dirty’ starts, there’s a distinct feeling of anticipation. A loud key strikes, the drums start to pound and then bam: out of nowhere you’re hit with Wonder. That smooth, rhythmic flow she’s known for. As the percussion builds, her rapid-fire lyrics stunt, taunt and definitively prove who’s boss. TK’s smooth vocals slide through Kissey’s heavy, bouncing synths and slabs of bass with ease, ranging from mellifluous multi-layered choruses to fierce double-time rhymes: “Who gave you a right to say (that) / If you don’t know don’t play (that) / Saying things out of blue, I say who the hell are you / Baby think you’re cooler than May(bachs).”
On ‘Don’t Break Me Off,’ TK’s condemning lyrics attack straightaway. Drifting quickly over a hefty bass hit, her voice hypnotizes with eloquence and cadence. Delicate yet raw as it gets, her vocals gain heat just as Kissey’s electric synths start to weigh in. The song builds to a wild climax, drifts into a daydreamy breakdown filled with layered pads and floating vocals, and then comes right back into the storm, as every good argument does. Hold tight for the end; it’s worth the wait.
