Berlin based multi talent Kev Koko drops new single "Coming For You," marking his most ambitious and vulnerable release yet.
A impressively talented DJ, producer, singer and all around creative, Kev Koko moves between realms of eclectic club sounds and vocal led pop music, changing direction slightly from last year's catapulting techno single "Roof." Contrasting distorted and melancholic synth electronica with Koko's ethereal, soothing vocals, "Coming For You" continues to progress across a cinematic soundscape heightened by the flawless falsettos of Koko that is at times, reminiscent of greats like Tame Impala. Delicate yet brave and daring, the versatile talent showcases his experimental side on multiple levels, unafraid to pigeonhole himself to one genre.
Kev Koko shares, "With the song 'Coming For You' I basically try to elevate the dynamics of a failed relationship into a modern understanding. We have all become more reflective in the last couple of years but are still struggling to detach from the love addiction. 'Coming For You' is my way of coping with this struggle."
His ability to showcase and weave multiple influences is clear, fuelled by his curiosity for potent Berlin techno, juxtaposed with pop melodies, song writing and additional ventures including previous member of FJAAK and his hyped Berlin collective, Live from Earth. An artistic fashion company and record label with artists such as Wolfram & DJ Ali on their roster, Kev Koko's skill knows no bounds and has seen him reap the rewards building a loyal fanbase.
His debut single "1st Of July" sewed the seed of his rippling career, with the single close to 1 million streams on Spotify alone. A true achievement for any rising star, Kev Koko has now also found fans in tastemakers like Solomun and Boy Noize and his popularity shows no signs of slowing.
