After college, Kaye moved to New York to pursue music. She played bass and guitar in several Brooklyn bands (including shredding as Slash in an all-girl Guns N’ Roses cover band called ‘Guns N’ Hoses’). In 2014, a mutual friend connected her with San Fermin’s Ellis Ludwig-Leone. Impressed with her voice, he asked her to be San Fermin’s new lead vocalist. This led to five years of collaboration and touring with San Fermin, with Kaye’s blistering frontwoman energy propelling their albums Jackrabbit and Belong to international audiences and festivals worldwide. This included tours supporting alt-J, The National, and St. Vincent.
She released the critically acclaimed album Conscious Control, her first full-length in four years, in November 2020.

Kaye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like a storm through the trees
Dirt on my feet
One look and I finally saw what it might feel like to be free
All over me
Like vines entangled
No hair and makeup
But you were an oasis
A vision I can't do without
Now I have you
No one else does it better than you
How do you do, do, do it?
Even if I lived forever
No, I'd never find nobody else
Nobody else, yeah
You came to me
And changed the air around me
Rain through my leaves
One night and I finally saw what it might feel like to be clean
Oh, when you're young
You want someone to save ya
But baby you're a haven
I can lose myself in anytime and
When I awaken
It's even better back here on the ground
Now I have you
No one else does it better than you
How do you do, do, do it?
Even if I lived forever
No, I'd never find nobody else
Nobody else like
You
No one else knows me better than you
How do you do, do, do it?
Even if I lived forever
No, I'd never find nobody else
Nobody else, yeah
You
No one else knows me better than you
How do you do, do, do it?
Even if I lived forever
No, I'd never find nobody else
Nobody else, like
You
No one else knows me better than you
How do you do, do, do it?
Even if I lived forever
No, I'd never find nobody else
Nobody else, yeah
How do you do, do, do it?
You
No one else knows me better than you
How do you do, do, do it?
Even if I lived forever
No, I'd never find nobody else
Nobody else
The song "UUU" by Kaye is essentially a love song that speaks about how the love of the singer's life has changed their world. The beginning of the song indicates how the lover appeared in the life of the singer without warning. The comparison of the lover to a storm through the trees speaks of the suddenness of their appearance. The singer is depicted to have had a lot of issues as depicted by the dirt on their feet. However, with the arrival of the lover, they feel like they have been freed from their problems. The connection between them is so strong that they become entangled like vines.
The chorus of the song highlights the significance of the lover in the life of the singer. The lyrics "No one else does it better than you, how do you do, do, do it?" explicitly state that the lover is the best thing that has ever happened to the singer. The verse that follows indicates that the arrival of the lover has brought a sense of clarity and purity to the singer's life. Unlike before when they had dirt on their feet, they finally feel clean. The singer acknowledges that when they were young, like most people, they wanted someone to save them. However, with the arrival of the lover, they feel like they have found solace that they can lose themselves in.
