NEW YORK, NY (March 23rd, 2018) — Kailee Morgue follows the success of her recently released debut EP with an acoustic version, Medusa Acoustic EP, out now—listen here. The EP features acoustic versions of Morgue’s viral hits, “Medusa,” “Discovery” and more.
 
Morgue’s breakthrough hit, “Medusa,” was produced by CJ Baran (Melanie Martinez, Panic! At the Disco, Carly Rae Jepsen). The track peaked at #1 on Hype Machine, was hailed as “Best Track of the Week” by The New York Times, MTV, Line of Best Fit and Coup de Main and its video premiered on The FADER. Following this success, Morgue debuted her track, “Discovery,” which Zane Lowe recently premiered as a “World Record” on Apple Music’s Beats 1.
 
Tattooed, green haired and anime-obsessed 19-year-old Phoenix-born and Los Angeles-based gothic pop siren, Kailee Morgue, casts a sonic spell with her music. A self-described “introvert” and the second oldest of six kids, she found solace in the sounds of fellow sonic sorceresses, such as Stevie Nicks and Gwen Stefani as well as bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and more. By the age of ten, she picked up her first guitar, began quietly penning music and eventually started posting tracks on Soundcloud.
 
Between a gig at Jack in the Box in 2016, an 18-year-old Morgue found the beat for her breakout track, “Medusa,” on YouTube and cooked up the single. She first teased the track with a brief Twitter video, and it ignited a viral reaction garnering 100,000 “likes” overnight. Over an airy, minimalistic soundscape, Morgue creates a hypnotic, and heartfelt melody with haunting and powerful lyrics. As “Medusa” became an underground phenomenon, she inked a deal with Republic Records in the summer of 2017.
