You may remember her from the (admittedly amazing) Disney Channel original movie, "Lemonade Mouth." You probably don't remember her from the atrocity that was 2015's "Jem and the Holograms." But you should know and you will remember Hayley Kiyoko for her soon-to-be stellar music career.

Her debut EP, "This Side of Paradise," was released in February of 2015 and it's kind of a banger? It's electronic and synth-y but slow and sensual at the same time with beautifully decorated lyrics. It's right up my alley, and probably (hopefully) right up yours too.

Kiyoko's real claim to fame with this EP isn't just the phenomenal music and lyrics, but her two most recent music videos. June 24, 2015 quite honestly changed my life. The music video for "Girls Like Girls" premiered and the internet proceeded to lose its mind, as did I. With over 23 million views in just seven months, this is one of the most beautifully directed, written, and shot pieces of visual media I've ever seen. Not surprisingly, it's probably because Kiyoko wrote and directed it herself.

The story goes as follows: Coley, an unconfident young woman, realizes and deals with her developing feelings for her best friend, Sonya, and struggles to hide her contempt for Sonya's abrasive boyfriend, Trenton. It's a slam-dunk for lesbian and bisexual women's representation and feels emotionally real and potent. The chemistry between the two lead women is so natural and strong and every scene in which they get to interact with each other alone is breathtaking. Gosling and McAdams should be nervous.

Now enter the music video for "Cliff's Edge," which premiered in November of 2015. Without a visual, the song is simple enough. It's about instantaneous and passionate summer love. The bass resonates in your heart and you're right next to her on that cliff, holding the hand of someone with whom you fell in love in a day. It feels like infinity.

Then the video adds layers and depth to the song which would make Stanley Kubrick envious. Just as wondrously shot and directed as its predecessor, the "Cliff's Edge" music video is differently enchanting and haunting. Gone are the days of falling in love with your best friend in the desert, this video is a little creepy and a little angsty.

Chilling shots of mechanical dancers in a freezing, waist-deep lake juxtaposed with rosy-pink shots of Hayley's character as she violently falls in and out of love with her partner. The video doesn't quite correlate with the lyrics, and is wildly more symbolic than "GLG"'s straightforward direction. It makes you think about what the images mean. It's really good.

But what really sets it apart from "Girls Like Girls," for me personally, is the multidimensionality it lends to lesbian relationships. Rarely are on-screen relationships between women so dynamic and multifaceted. I can't remember the last time I saw two women in love have an argument on television or film. Except for maybe "The L Word" back in 2004...

But "Cliff's Edge" shows what it's like sometimes being in love with a woman. It isn't always painting each other's nails or dancing in a desert. It's screaming and crying and just as raw and real as any other relationship. I can't thank Hayley Kiyoko enough for illustrating that so elegantly. There is a very wide range of emotions being depicted in such a short film and it's done so with a lot of finesse and talent. No surprise again that Kiyoko herself directed this one too.

Gay teen stuff aside, I cannot wait to see what Hayley Kiyoko's musical future will bring. I will be the first person to buy a ticket to her debut tour and the first person in line to purchase her full-length album when it's released. Until then, I'll be playing her singles on repeat and hanging out on this side of paradise.
