Slightly left-of-center pop artist Kiiara is a breathy vocalist whose
output falls somewhere between that of Jhene Aiko and Lorde. The
Wilmington, Illinois native previously recorded as Kiara Saulters and
independently issued the homey acoustic pop song "Bring Me Back" in
2013. Eventually signed to major-label Atlantic, she worked with the
Cataracs' Niles Hollowell-Dhar and David Singer-Vine, as well as Brenton
Duvall and Felix Snow, and recorded Low Kii Savage. The EP, which
alternated between downcast electronic pop and bass-heavy, trap-style
rap production, was a radical change in direction. Preceded by the
breakout single "Gold," it was released in March 2016. The following
year, she appeared on the Linkin Park single "Heavy," which broke into
the Top 50 of Billboard's Hot 100 and peaked at number two on the Hot
Rock Songs chart. Later that year, she issued the singles "Whippin" with
Felix Snow and "Wishlist."
