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. “Another Life” is one of the best and most powerful songs we’ve heard in months. The song comes with an amazing music video that definitely will give you a better experience while listening. The lyrics are original, well written and mesh perfectly with the vocal melodies. The minute we heard KOATES’ voice we fell in love with it and couldn’t get it out of our heads. He has one of the richest and most beautiful voices we’ve ever heard and his performance on this track is on another level. This track is a great experience from start to finish, and KOATES is definitely a name we should remember. We hope you love this track as much as we do!
WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“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!”
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
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. ‘The music has got a wicked flow to it. He is one to get ingrained deep, deep into your head’ – Jack Saunders (BBC Radio One)
