Hayley Kiyoko Essentials

A former Disney child star and one of pop’s few openly gay artists, Hayley Kiyoko knows she’s got some weight on her shoulders—her biggest fans half-jokingly call her Lesbian Jesus (but probably only half-jokingly). Public role aside, Kiyoko has become increasingly self-assured as an artist, straddling pop, dance, and R&B with a confidence and breeziness that’s refreshing regardless of orientation, hinting at some of pop’s more experimental developments while still planted firmly in the mainstream. Charting her development from early EPs to 2018’s breakthrough Expectations and beyond, here’s a playlist of Kiyoko at her best, with plenty of road ahead.
