Sound Selection 116: Suad, KOKO, Black Box

KOKO All Together Now

KOKO, the beloved Bristol trio, have finally revealed their four-track EP All Together Now. A mellifluous production drives the EP with a potent energy that has been present in their previous releases like Follow and their single ‘(I Don’t Wanna) Start Fights’ — marking it as one of their best releases yet.

Talking about ‘So Nice To Meet You,’ our personal favourite track from the EP, the trio stated: “It’s all about meeting someone for the first time and getting that excitement…the butterflies. It’s a feeling we’ve missed for a LONG time this year – so it’s definitely a song with a lot of optimism for the future.”

Suad ‘Sleep The Nights’

Suad, a Finnish singer-songwriter, just yesterday published her melodious single ‘Sleep The Nights.’ The single marks the third song from Suad’s forthcoming 2021 album, and arguably our favourite from the lot. ‘Sleep The Nights’ is a piece carried by Suad’s elevated vocals and driven production that shifts into a hit-like track, making it perfect for radio.

Black Box ‘Over It’

Our final selection for 116 is by Black Box, a trio of out Norway formed by Emil Vildalen, Andri Szarvas and Markus Slåttvik. Their debut single ‘Over It’ is driven by a playful energy and catchy lyrics — perfect for the weekend playlist.

Ballerine de l’air by Brad Walls

Brad Walls, an Australian photographer known for stunning aerial photos, has unveiled his new series Ballerine de l’air (Ballerina from the air).

The series explores the beautiful art of Ballet from above and is lightly inspired by an image from the late Oliver Cotton’s Teacup ballet. With this series, Walls wanted to escape from the photography that Ballet was usually captured by, stating “Most people had seen Ballet photographed traditionally… and while those photos are undeniably beautiful, I wanted to rewrite the composition, purely focusing on the unique shapes and shadows of the art form.”

For the series to work, Walls got in touch with Montana Rubin, a member of the corps de ballet (body of the Ballet) within the Australian Ballet. Due to the pandemic, Rubin was not currently performing on stage, and thus she took no convincing to work with Walls, saying “With his clean aesthetic and attention to detail, I was excited to see how our worlds could mesh” further adding “Brad’s unique viewpoint also gave me an opportunity to see my art form quite literally from a different perspective.”

Tierra Whack Drops New Song ‘Dora’

Tierra Whack has dropped a new song called ‘Dora’. The new track is accompanied by a colourful stop-motion animated visual directed by conceptual artist Alex Da Corte. Watch the visual below.

Speaking of working with Whack, Da Corte said in a statement: “Tierra and myself still feel it is urgent to find a way to speak to our feelings through music and pictures. Thinking of the ways in which Aretha Franklin, Fred Rogers, and Jim Henson navigated the world through good times and bad times with determined positivity was deeply inspiring to me during the making of this video. To make Tierra laugh was in some ways the best I could do on the hardest of days.”

‘Dora’ follows Whack’s previous track ‘Stuck’, which came out in March of 2020. The rapper also featured on Alicia Keys’ ‘Me x 7’, from the singer’s seventh album ALICIA.
