Sun seekers: get your ears around KYKO's new poolside jam
South London's KYKO, aka Scott Verrill, drops summer ready anthem "Dive In" ahead of his aptly titled forthcoming EP Wildlife.
Tropical-pop has got a bad rep, mainly due to some awful reworks of classics that shouldn't have been touched with a mango-flavoured musical wand, ever. KYKO's tropical musings help us forget about those musical monstrosities and "Dive In" is another shimmering oasis in a desert of monotiny and ubiquity.
KYKO says of the new track: "It feels like a fair culmination of the different sounding records I have put out so far. It feels like one of the most natural songs I have written, we didn't put much emphasis on a direction when writing so it came organically and was captured as more of a live jam (pre-production) and I feel like that essence is still captured in the tune. It was such a natural progression putting this into the live set and it started going down super well in the shows, which has made it all the more exciting to finally get it out!"
To see how the once directionless track sounds in the live setting, you can check out KYKO as he heads out on a UK headline tour later this month.
