Unfortunately for the impatient; Kaitlin Riegel’s sophomore\u00a0EP, System<\/em>,\u00a0isn’t set for release until\u00a0February 10th. Luckily, we have a sneak peak of a new track from the New Zealand artist. “When I Fall Asleep” is the\u00a0softer, stripped-down\u00a0B-side of her\u00a0catchy, R&B single “System.” It’s produced\u00a0by James Yuill of Moshi Moshi, who has worked\u00a0with Hot Chip, Florence &\u00a0the Machine, and Kate Nash.\u00a0You can preorder System<\/em>\u00a0here<\/a>, and listen to “When I Fall Asleep”\u00a0below.<\/p>\n

Riegel was born in Portland, then started her music career as a pre-teen hanging around\u00a0Massachusetts coffee shops. She later relocated to New Zealand where she currently works from. This internationally-minded artist has\u00a0also recorded in Berlin (with Simon Berkelman of Philadelphia Grand Jury) and more recently in London, and credits her exposure to diverse\u00a0environments and culture with shaping her unique style and sound. She has a strong foundation in classical and jazz genres,\u00a0which she augments with\u00a0contemporary R&B.<\/p>\n
