The new single by Kim McClay, “Comin’ Home” opens with an explosive bass synth and soothing ocean waves as the backdrop. Her haunting voice transport listeners deep into an imaginary dimension with each verse telling a new intriguing story. Her catchy chorus incorporates dreamy harmonies for an irresistibly captivating journey of sound and emotion.
“Comin’ Home” was not born overnight. Kim and Dustin worked tirelessly to create its sound from the ground up, culminating in this captivating musical creation. These independent musicians are making waves in music, with live events serving as the focal point of their work, hence, the groove perfectly mirrors the lyrics.
In Kim’s own words, “This song’s lyrical story is echoed in its groove, and I really hope you listen to it in the car with the windows all the way down and the subwoofer on high. I hope it makes you twirl in a robe in your living room and sing in the shower. Let the light in!”
Dustin and Kim have been creating music together since they met on the 2018 A Chorus Line National Tour. Their partnership is clearly audible in “Comin’ Home”, where talent and creative fire combine to achieve magnificent results.
For the sound of this single, the pair draws inspiration from musicians such as MUNA, Maggie Rogers, Florence & the Machine, and Paramore. Their musical approaches blend their interests and ambitions, and they recently headlined at New York City’s Bowery Electric before continuing to release new work.
The track was written in two places: Dolan Studios on the NYU campus and Dustin’s bedroom (dubbed “Rugby Road Studios”). Dustin was the Executive Producer, while Kim contributed melodies and lyrics – this music is the result of months of hard effort.

This song brings joy into one’s life, welcoming it in with open arms, embracing it in for good, and welcoming its presence into our everyday routines.
