Sunday Swings From Vintage Sparkle to Full Techno Pop
Come Thru Vocals is a long-running It’s Not You It’s Me Media series spotlighting standout vocal performances, emerging artists and songs worth adding to your rotation. Curated by the INYIM music desk, many selections later appear in the Musique Dig’s Weekly Playlist and enter rotation on INYIM Radio.
Sunday’s Come Thru Vocals pairs Kat Edmonson’s “Sparkle and Shine” with KATSEYE’s “PINKY UP (Techno Remix).” One floats in from 2018 with old-school charm and a voice built for another decade; the other takes one of 2026’s biggest pop rushes and pushes it straight toward the club. No need for these two to sound alike — that’s the fun of it.
Kat Edmonson
Tune: “Sparkle and Shine”
“Sparkle and Shine” sounds like it wandered in from a mid-century soundtrack without becoming a costume piece. Kat Edmonson keeps the vocal light, precise and conversational, letting that unmistakable vintage phrasing do the work while the song gently sways underneath her.
KATSEYE
Tune: “PINKY UP (Techno Remix)”
Then KATSEYE flips the room completely. The “PINKY UP (Techno Remix)” stretches the group’s compact pop single into a harder, more club-minded version, keeping the hook front and center while giving the track more space to pound, pulse and properly misbehave.
