Sekou – Forgiving Myself
London artist Sekou unveils an empowering new single today to celebrate the launch of his highly anticipated debut EP.
Produced by Sounwave, ‘Forgiving Myself’ treats listeners to an unconventional twist on the soul-pop genre, and is taken from the acclaimed teenager’s new ‘Out of Mind’ record (out now).
“I wanted to have creative freedom on this [EP] and do something different from what I’ve done before. I loved having control over the kind of sound I wanted to make, the people I wanted to work with, and the tracks on the project – it was freeing and allowed me to be honest. I’m excited for people to listen to this EP and understand me more as an artist. While ‘Better Man’ showcased my vocal ability, this project shows my range, and what I’m truly capable of.”
Aside from the ongoing tastemaker praise that Sekou continues to receive, the artist has also grown a fanbase that includes global stars as prominent as Sam Smith, Anderson .Paak, Bruno Mars and Dua Lipa. It’s all quite incredible for a talent who is still only 18-years old… exciting days lie ahead!
New Music: Sekou
Sometimes you press play to a song and you instantly know that the artist will take over the world. That’s certainly the case with 18-year old British talent Sekou, who has just unveiled his phenomenal debut single, ‘Better Man’.
Lyrically honest and raw, the song inspires us to embrace our flaws and strive to better ourselves, so we can live a fulfilling life that we can proud of. Elaborating further on the track, Sekou explains:
“Growing up I had a bad relationship with my dad, but I never knew I could write a song out of it. I wanted to write half of it to myself, telling myself what not to do, but then also telling my dad a message as well. When I started the writing process that was the only thing I could really relate to and be honest about.”
With early support from the likes of BBC Introducing, as well as GQ, ID and Vogue magazines already under his belt, we think it will only be a short matter of time before this kid becomes a global name.
