The
upcoming tour celebrates the imminent arrival of Kiyoko’s highly
anticipated debut album EXPECTATIONS, which
arrives everywhere on March 30th and is available now for pre-order
HERE.
Kiyoko’s debut LP is heralded by the current smash single, “Curious,”
which Hayley premiered earlier this year on MTV’s Total Request
Live alongside the self-directed steamy music video that
showcases Hayley’s confidently slick dance moves. The video,
which has amassed nearly 5.5 million views since last month’s
release, can be viewed on Hayley’s official YouTube
channel HERE.
“Curious” is currently impacting Pop and Hot AC radio formats
nationwide and has recently received over 45 adds at Pop Radio
across stations in markets including Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Nashville and more. Today, the track receives an exclusive new
remix from Platinum-certified Philadelphia duo
Marian Hill, who recently released their brand new single
“Subtle
Thing.” The “Curious (Marian Hill Remix)” is available now
at all DSPs and streaming services HERE.
“Curious” ushered in the start of what’s bound to be another
stellar year for the rising pop artist. Upon release, Billboard
cited “high expectations,” for Kiyoko writing, “At this point,
Hayley Kiyoko’s ascension to Billboard Hot 100 domination seems
inevitable.” The single was immediately placed upon The New
York Times’ “The
Playlist” and TIME Magazine’s “5
Songs You Need to Listen to this Week,” with Idolator
declaring it “One Of The First Great Pop Songs Of 2018,”and
publications such as The
FADER praising the “Curious” visual as “a beautifully
shot commentary on the dynamics of queer love and the complicated
laws of same-sex attraction.”

In
the fall of 2016, the multi-talented singer, songwriter, director
and actress, featured as one of Rolling Stone’s “10
New Artists You Need To Know,” released her major-label
debut EP CITRINE,
which reached the top 5 on Billboard’s “Heatseekers”
chart and included the acclaimed singles and self-directed companion
visuals, “One
Bad Night” and “Gravel
To Tempo. Hayley went on to celebrate CITRINE by
launching the first leg of her nationwide “One Bad Night Tour.”
The completely sold-out headline tour saw Hayley performing
her new music for her passionate and devoted fans in multiple
cities throughout the US. According to Baeble,
“Hayley Kiyoko’s music acts as a safe space for the LGBTQ community.”Last
spring, just before embarking upon the second leg of her “One
Bad Night Tour,” which included a stop at NYC’s famed Bowery
Ballroom in addition to performances down in Austin at SXSW,
Hayley unleashed another self-directed video for her song “Sleepover,”
which arrived amidst widespread media attention from outlets
such as Pop
Crush, which highly praised the single as “a poignant piece
of pro-LGBTQ art… set against a hazy, humid electronic soundscape
of drowsy mid-tempo beats and flickering guitar twinkles.” To
date, Hayley’s self-directed music videos have collectively
amassed over 160 million views on YouTube.
