Valley Sixteen – Everybody Knows

It’s rare to convey as much deep emotion into a piece of stripped-back pop as Valley Sixteen has done with the release of ‘Everybody Knows’.

This song is an intricately structured piece of music, yet presented in a beautifully simple way. You can experience a raw sense of intensity come through from Valley Sixteen’s vocals, hitting you with such an impact that it’s hard not to be moved.

“This is my most personal single yet. I wrote, recorded and produced this one on the floor of the first bedroom I had when I arrived here in Frankfurt. After moving myself halfway across the world from South Africa to Germany, I watched many of my closest relationships slowly fall apart. ‘Everybody Knows’ is my confession – ‘I wouldn’t love me if I were you'”.

New Music: Valley Sixteen

An bold take on indie-pop from 20-year old South African talent Valley Sixteen. After relocating to Germany, ‘Sad Eyes’ came to life on the floor of her best friend’s apartmentĀ in Munich.

This track is an exemplary example of melancholy pop music, and confirms Valley Sixteen as one to watch.

“Moving myself away from some extremely toxic situations, I learnt that even though they still stung, I didn’t have to feel so negative about them anymore. ‘Sad Eyes’ is sad, yes, but for me, it’s my ‘reclaim that independence’ song that I needed when I went through my breakup.”
