South East London based newcomer KOATES returns today with the reveal of stunning single Another Life. Showcasing a gorgeous blend of intricate songwriting, dreamy vocals and glistening production, the track serves to further cement the growing hype around this newcomer, who has gained support from Jack Saunders at BBC Radio 1, Notion and is starting to amass a strong following on social media. Speaking on the track, KOATES states:
I based this single on the everyday decisions we make that can affect our relationships positively or negatively. Get it wrong and we face blow-outs, door-slamming and worse, we just wish we done things differently. Get it right and it’s the best feeling in the world!
More on KOATES…
KOATES was born into a music-mania, Buddhist family in South East London. With both parents in bands often away touring, he found himself navigating through teenage mayhem on his own. Almost married at 18, it was a close shave at the registry office. This set him up for some pretty unique, emotionally intelligent (in hindsight) songwriting where he ventures into worlds of dark places that emerge hopeful. KOATES is best described as ‘pop-noir’, taking influence from old and new. A hybrid of pop and electronic music with a whole lot of soul.
