Undeniably one of the most talked about names in the UK rising rap scene right now. At 22 years old, SONGER has collaborated with one of grimes greatest, D Double E, had his music praised across national radio and press and is set to soon be playing his biggest hometown stage at Reading Festival.
Named after his very own dog, ‘SKALA’ marks the next chapter of the visionary ball of creativity that is Reading rapper SONGER. Deep into a whirlwind of hype and attention, ‘SKALA’ is a profound, momentary step off the gas that takes us up close and personal with SONGER, without compromising a second of the Midas touch that has got him where he is.
‘SKALA’ maintains an effortless consistency across an eclectic range of beats and soundscapes, exemplified by the opening tracks. The lyric “I’ve never seen a dog waste a day of her life / Everyday she wakes up with just love in her eyes” launches the album over a haunting, cinematic piano line. This anecdote underlines SONGER’s mission statement for ‘SKALA’: an outlook of fundamental positivity and confidence amidst the uncertainty of being a young adult in modern day Britain.
