Breakout teen sensation Moore Kismet is kicking off the year with a new single, “Parallel Heartbreak” co-written with Tate McRae and featuring Pauline Herr. Flexing a dynamic drum & bass melody highlighted by texturized, shimmering synths and softly strummed guitars, Moore Kismet creates unique magic on the dancefloor-ready track.

Their second collaboration with Pauline, the pair first linked on Moore’s track “You Should Run,” with Kismet sharing via Instagram, “Pauline is one of the most incredible people I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know as I grow up in this industry. getting to have her be a part of this song and my album UNIVERSE means so much to me.”

Born Omar Davis, Moore Kismet is a 17-year-old nonbinary, pansexual producer, songwriter, and DJ from Southern California. Kismet, whose name means “more than fate,” started teaching themself to produce at age 7, using a downloaded copy of Fruity Loops, YouTube tutorials, and diligent practice, and has since become the youngest artist ever to play Lollapalooza and EDC Las Vegas, made their Red Rocks debut, and was named to Billboard’s annual 21 Under 21 list for the second year in a row.

With more music on the way, Kismet shares: “The story behind ‘Parallel Heartbreak’ is a very long, challenging, but incredibly beautiful one. I knew that something special could be told with the lyricism and production of the song. I wanted the production to enhance the story that Tate wrote by showing the perspective of a lover who feels a true connection to someone but has doubts about possibly getting with them at the risk of being broken-hearted. As a young queer person, it’s hard to figure out what may be best for yourself in a relationship. I truly hope that people can relate to it and experience the feeling we had when creating it together.” Moore Kismet’s new song, “Parallel Heartbreak” is available on all platforms. Stream here.
