Thai/American multifaceted artist and songwriter Roskamala has just shared her debut original single and accompanying visuals. Entitled "Kiss Me Amnesia", the soulful and poignant new track is the first taste off of her upcoming EP entitled truth she told.
With "Kiss Me Amnesia", Roskamala has written a complex yet highly relatable song all about the effects of unhealed trauma. Lyrics including, "I beg love for second chances / I tried and tried a thousand times but can't get back the things I've learned / cause I know I will get burned / Kiss Me Amnesia / let me forget the memories for a while / I run from reality to fiction," detail how running away from the past and not dealing with former painful experiences can lead to issues in relationships, healing and self-love. Sonically, "Kiss Me Amnesia" is a delicate and captivating affair complete with emotive keys and soul-drenched cathartic melodies. A dark pop adult contemporary ballad filled with elements of minimal electronics, "Kiss Me Amnesia" is a must-listen and a welcoming debut from rising artist Roskamala.
In the accompanying music video directed and written by Roskamala, a man is caught in two worlds: reality and amnesia world. He is seen damaging his relationships with his girlfriends and they are always leaving him. Caught with disillusionment and denial, he never forces himself to work on himself and deal with the past. He retreats to a fake world with all of his ex-girlfriends until he is older and can't remember the happy times anymore. The message is clear in this enthralling and important narrative, make peace with your past.
