MUMBAI: Following a string of critically acclaimed releases in 2016, Scandinavian songstress SKOTT keeps the momentum going in 2017, announcing her latest single, ‘Glitter & Gloss.’
On ‘Glitter & Gloss,’ Skott’s haunting vocals sparkle against a backdrop of shimmering synths, menacing percussion and hazy, incandescent production. As her first release in the new year, ‘Glitter & Gloss’ follows previous singles ‘Lack of Emotion,’ ‘Amelia,’ ‘Wolf” and her stunning debut single from last summer, ‘Porcelain,’ which snagged a coveted slot on the official FIFA 17 soundtrack.
Skott spent her early years in a forest commune run by a collection of outcast folk musicians. Together they built a small but supportive community, quite far from the nearest populated city. There, surrounded by nature she thrived, learning to appreciate life without all the distractions associated with living in a city. Largely sequestered from contemporary pop culture, it wasn’t until Skott ventured into the city during her mid-teens that she listened to contemporary music for the first time.
