SBK01 | CONTROL

Emerging London-based Electro-Synthpop Artist Steps into The Unknown, Takes Control with New Single and Music Video

SBK01’s new single “Control” opens with an expansive, retro drum kit and an off-kilter melody that sets her vocals against dark twisting 90’s-esque synth pads. The lyrics confront us with the cold, uncomfortable truth of living from a place of fear. A hopeful horizon emerges as layered synthesizers break through, surrounded by choral, cleverly layered harmonies and a middle-eight that reminds us of the beauty of being human. With vocals reminiscent of Kate Bush, Banks and Metronomy, SBK01’s unusual vocal toplines with understated, existential lyrics, all neatly arranged over moody synth aesthetics, creating a unique other-worldly dreamscape.

Combined with a high-fashion approach to her visuals, SBK01’s performances place her somewhere between musician and machine; robotic gestures are juxtaposed with distinctly carbon-based emotions, provoking questions about humanity’s increasing assimilation with technology and the digital-world.
