LOS ANGELES, CA-  The Swedish singer/songwriter Skott has a voice that will hypnotize you. We learned that three years ago when we saw her perform in Los Angeles and were lulled into a state of deep respose as her delicate vocals efforlessly floated over lush instrumentation.

With her latest single, “Midas”, Skott’s supple vocals are the centerpiece of haunting recording. Her singing is so tender, almost whisper-like, you’re drawn in to decipher the story in her lyrics. Of the song, Skott says:

“’Midas’ is a song about a mythical, undying love — the struggle in daring to let your walls down, open up your heart and become mortal. You can build your life up in solid gold, but it might come at the great cost of starving your heart through isolation.”

The single has been released via Skott’s own record label, Dollar Menu. Not one to compromise her own artistic visions, Dollar Menu is providing Skott an outlet that affords her to an opportunity to take risks and not play it safe.

“I feel like starting my own label kind of runs in the same mindset. The song is playful and doesn’t take itself too seriously. I hope it resonates with some weirdos out there doing their own thing.”

Resonate it will, and not just with weirdos 😉
