Kalisway – Sugar [Single]

Kalisway’s track “Sugar” from her album A Kid From Toronto is pure candy-coated goodness. It’s got that unmistakable 80s bounce but with a dash of something new that puts it on track to be a go-to track for any session The synths are thick and funky, the electric piano bright, and the drum machine hits hard with those classic claps—it’s all energy and groove. You can feel the electro-soul and boogie funk influences running through every second.

With the “sugar” metaphor, Kalisway plays on the fun side of desire, turning temptation into something you know is bad but can’t help craving. The whole vibe is flirty, fun, and full of that fresh young love energy. The chorus, with lines like “You taste like sugar, pretty baby / Sugar don’t taste that bad to me,” sticks with you, just like the sweetest hook.

Her voice is light and airy but has that depth where it counts. There’s an innocence in her tone, but you can feel the confidence too—like she knows exactly what she’s doing with this one. It comes off so naturally, nailing the balance between 80s nostalgia and a new-school cool. Judging by the vibe of “Sugar,” it’s clear that A Kid From Toronto is Kalisway‘s way of laying down her own signature style and making sure her lane is hers alone.
