Follow on Google News | International Singer and Activist K-SYRAN's New Album SMOKE IN MY VEINSTo be released August 8th, 2016, Hit Single "Hello" Currently Climbing the Charts.
By: Jennifer Allison Publicity Known for her impressive soprano and a melodic fusion that combines elements of classical, pop, rock, jazz and techno influences, K-Syran made waves in the European dance music world with her 2016 dance-pop single "Testify," recorded with Sugarbabes' star Amelle Berrabah, accompanied by a controversial video clip, featuring intimate scenes with two women. The track became one of four songs by the Norwegian-born star that reached UK Top Ten Club Chart and Billboard, making her a prominent feature on the Ibiza circuit. K-Syran's music has also been compared to such art rock figures as Bjork or Coldplay. K-Syran's newest release Smoke In My Veins was recorded at Metropolis Studios and was produced by Tom Nichols (Celine Dion, Kylie Minogue) and Charlie Thomas (One Direction, Nick Mason), credited as The Secret Agents. The record includes singles "Intimacy" and "Hello" – a bouncy pop song recorded in part at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London, known as a birthplace of classic rock albums by The Beatles, Oasis, and Pink Floyd. The album is a collection of seductive dance tunes combined with a thought-provoking message – a fusion distinctive of K-Syran's style. "The power and joy of song has the ability to comfort and inspire each individual. Music can offer hope when people need it most – that's what I want to give," says K-Syran about her new release. "I wrote some of the material on Smoke In My Veins with women in mind, but the ideas and emotions behind my songs strive to be universal. I think it's a mistake to think that lyrics in dance music cannot deal with anything of substance. Dance was a form of spiritual activity for human beings throughout the history of our kind, a powerful form of emotional and physical expression. That's why I want my music to give audiences music that would move their bodies while engaging their minds. " – she further explains.
