Kayla Marque Wants You to “Remember The Future” (Exclusive Interview)
When asked where Kayla Marque is from, she’ll respond with “I’m from the future, but my mothership landed here.”
Marque’s presence is hard to describe, but think Afro-Surrealist Disney Princess meets existential dread covered in confetti. Her song “Stardust” is part of a larger project that is still in the works, so for now you can only find this song on the 303 Music Vinyl Volume 5 — track number 8. “Stardust” is a song about union and becoming one with yourself, and one with the universe. It was written to illuminate the harmony in sensuality and sex as a sacred exchange, but it can transcend to all kinds of human and spiritual unions.

Harriet and The Christmas Plum
Harriet dreamed of Christmas lunch. She could almost hear the carrots she’d crunch. She smelled fruits, pies, and fresh warm bread. Visions of sugar plums danced in her head. Her belly began to growl, her nose began to twitch. She soon forgot all about jolly old St. Nick. She stumbled and hopped half asleep down the hall. She was hungry for those sugar plums most of all! Harriet found herself in her mother’s fruit bowl, swimming in plums and eating them whole.

Harriet and Her Snowman
The air was crisp but not too cold. The snow was falling, but the sun kept shining. It was the perfect day to explore the fresh winter wonderland before it melted. Harriet jumped down from the couch and put on her winter hat. As she stepped out into the snow, she felt the frozen flakes cling to her fur. Her feet were now buried, so she had to hop a little harder than usual through the yard.
