Muse Chronicle

Hailing from Perth, Australia, Kristan Grayden, a 23-year-old pop artist, is someone one must explore if you are a sucker for calm and peaceful vibes. Kristan made her debut with the single ‘Wrapped with a bow’ released in 2025. She showcases her immense talent as a singer-songwriter, with her innate ability to evoke raw pleasure and contentment with every note she sings. Kristin wrote, edited, and produced this track entirely on her own. Overcoming all the trials and tribulations of producing a song from one’s bedroom, ‘Wrapped with a bow’ is the fruit she reaps, cementing herself as one of the best upcoming artists in Australia.

“The walls of Kristin’s bedroom are witness to her perseverance.”

Now she is back again with her own take on pop music, gracing us with another lyrical masterpiece. Her newest single, ‘Murder + Gravestone’, consists of 2 tracks that infuse pop with rock, drawing inspiration from horror classics. ‘Murder’ is a track that does a great job providing context and contrast to the lyrics, turning a seemingly eerie verse into a playful monologue, a monologue that lays bare the layers of a human soul. ‘Gravestone’ resonates with the brokenhearted, tapping into the act of remembrance of lost yet profound love. The song evokes feelings of nostalgia and reflection through its deliberate vocals paired with symphonic instrumentals. Whether you’re a casual listener, a melophile, or a rock fanatic, this single is bound to make you resonate with your inner self.
