South London’s Keeper has released a brand-new pop-rock inspired single ‘Cynical’ along with Tally Spear and co-written with Jon Cass (As Everything Unfolds).
Keeper’s Emanuel Andrade shares on the single, “This song came to life about a month after a painful, drawn-out breakup – on top of the death of my Grandad and my Dad losing his job, which left my mum panicking about the house. That breakup – ending a three-to-four-year relationship – had me blasting tracks from the bands I used to love, drowning myself in nostalgia.”
“‘Cynical’ was the first song I wrote that year, setting the sonic tone for the rest of the EP. At the time, I was still deep in the mess of everything – right at the point where I had finally ripped off the plaster. Lyrically, ‘Cynical’ was easy. I was completely in my own head that month – overthinking everything and desperate for a verbal outlet. Cynical took a melancholic, self-reflective route; the true beginning of my healing journey.”
You can catch Keeper in London supporting Newshapes and Glassbridges at the Black Heart in London. Tickets are available now.
