KOKO promotes anti-violence with new single '(I Don't Wanna) Start Fights'

July 04, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Alternative, Electronic, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist:

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

KOKO is becoming a favorite around the Gems & Secrets platform. The bands energy and alternative, pop sound is incredibly infectious. '(I Don’t Wanna) Start Fights’ proves exactly that. The short but adrenaline-infused single pops off like a firework.

"'(I Don't Wanna) Start Fights' is born from many a night in Soho. Over the last twelve months, we've spent a LOT of time in there (it's where we write and record). Soho is a fascinating place by night! Without fail, there is always one person in every group that causes the unnecessary agro, when everyone else is trying to have a good time. This is a song about that anti drama and trying to avoid it!" — KOKO

For fans of pop, alternative, and classic breakbeats… KOKO is bringing a unique and powerful new sound to the masses and we’re here for it. Don’t forget to connect with the band online to stay up to date on any upcoming material and enjoy!

July 04, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Electro Pop, Electronic, Folk, Indie, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist:

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Every once in awhile an album or a project will grab our attention in more ways than one (in a good way). It ends up leaving an imprint on us forever. Right now, we’re excited to say that album is Skott’s ‘Always Live for Always’. An 11-track experience spanning across electro pop to folk influenced, psychedelic gems.

“I wanted a to balance a variety of different soundscapes on my first album – I didn't write it with one singular subject in mind, but there is a common theme of dreams and introspection in the songs. It feels like I've worked on some of these songs for a lifetime, it feels weird to finally say it's done and to put it out there. I hope that people like it and find songs in there that really speak to them. — Skott

There’s something incredibly special about Skott’s vision and her writing style and we look forward to hearing more from the artist in the coming months. Don’t forget to connect with her online and enjoy!
