Klein Surprise has dropped a new album, and it arrives with a video attached. My Own Fairytale is out now through her Parkwuud Entertainment label, a twelve-track ambient record that leans into spectral sound and classical drama. The London composer and vocalist also shared a clip for the LP’s ghostly track, “Man in the Mirror.”
The album is described as Klein’s “take on a dark Disney soundtrack.” It runs mostly instrumental, mixing spectral ambient textures with the noise guitar of her 2025 release, Sleep With a Cane. One track stands apart: “Siren Reloaded,” a collaboration with violinist and composer Sasha Scott, who co-wrote and arranged the piece for the London Sinfonietta.
What the Record Covers
My Own Fairytale runs 12 tracks. The song titles trace a strange logic:
- Forever Yours
- Princess of the Souf
- Spiritual Warfare
- C Thru Me
- Suspect
- Treasure
- Siren Reloaded feat Sasha Scott
- The Illuminati Ends Now
- True Blood
- Man in the Mirror
- Bridge the Gap
- Promise to Come Home
The record draws on several distinct styles. The ambient passages recall spectral soundscapes, while the high-drama classical sections push toward grander arrangements. The noise guitar ties back to Sleep With a Cane, giving the new material a familiar edge.
The Sasha Scott Feature
“Siren Reloaded” is the standout feature on the record. Sasha Scott co-wrote and arranged the track for the London Sinfonietta. The collaboration is notable because it brings orchestral scale to an otherwise mostly electronic record. Klein’s earlier work leaned heavily on noise and texture; this track pushes toward something more formal.
Earlier Singles and the Turn Up EP
Klein has been busy this year. Earlier in the year, she released a stream of singles, some of which made their way onto My Own Fairytale. She also put out Turn Up, a YouTube-only joint EP with Mica Levi.
The EP format is worth noting because it sits alongside the full-length album. Klein has moved between solo records and collaborative projects, and Turn Up shows her working with another composer in a different medium.
Comparing the Two Albums
| Album | Year | Format | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sleep With a Cane | 2025 | Full-length | Noise guitar |
| My Own Fairytale | Now | Full-length | Spectral ambient, classical drama, Sasha Scott feature |
The comparison shows how Klein has shifted her approach. Sleep With a Cane was a solo release; My Own Fairytale expands that palette with orchestral arrangements and a darker concept.
The Verdict on My Own Fairytale
The record succeeds because it does not settle on one mode. It moves between ambient calm, classical drama, and noise intensity, holding those threads together across 12 tracks. The Sasha Scott collaboration gives the album its most ambitious moment.
The video for “Man in the Mirror” rounds out the package. It offers a visual counterpart to the album’s dark Disney concept.
For listeners who followed Klein’s earlier work, My Own Fairytale delivers a logical next step. It builds on the noise of Sleep With a Cane while reaching toward something larger.
The album is out now through Parkwuud Entertainment. The video for “Man in the Mirror” is available to watch alongside it.
