Rising star SIPHO. releases his new single, “SOBER”, out now via Dirty Hit. The single is taken from his forthcoming debut album “PRAYERS & PARANOIA”, which is set to be released on 27th October via Dirty Hit.
Led by a fusion of jungle and classical influences, “SOBER” showcases SIPHO’s seamless vocal performance, effortlessly delving into the intricacies of the ego. Brutally honest throughout, SIPHO. unpacks the confident and brash nature of the ego whilst also touching upon its ability to shield vulnerability and foster ignorance.
Speaking on the track SIPHO. states “I’m always drawn to these badass characters, like Action Bronson, or Jet Li – these people that are almost like, unreal. I kind of based this on that. The lyrics are painting the picture of a badman, but it’s over the top – he’s in a suit, he drives a big Lexus. Someone that’s both feared and respected. But it shows their vulnerabilities. Some people end up in these places and they don’t know how they got there. And then you’re just lost and confused, left isolated by your power.”
Today also sees SIPHO. announce “PRAYERS & PARANOIA”, his highly anticipated debut album, which is set to be released October 27th 2023, via Dirty Hit. The debut record is a product of an eclectic musical palette and will see the Birmingham native channel influence from his childhood. The album embraces the complexities of retaining hope in the face of growing and becoming an adult. The project acts as a refreshingly honest acknowledgement of self-worth, faith, insecurity, and anger, binding together to inform critical conversations on becoming an adult and living through the most complex form of humankind in history.
