Kiskadee Unveils Euphoric New Single ‘Higher Calling’

 

Following on from his 2021 EP ‘HOME’ that accumulated over 100,000 streams, London-based producer kiskadee shares his euphoric and atmospheric new track ‘Higher Calling’, injecting some serious groove into a soulful, vocal sample with rhythmic synths, glittering melodies and energetic beats while teasing huge drops. kiskadee has created an other-worldly, electronic soundscape that will send your mind and soul into the stratosphere.

Talking about the new track, kiskadee shares: “I came across the sample (Archie Thompson – Higher Calling), about a year ago during lockdown and have been mashing it up with a few tunes during my monthly residencies on Subtle Radio and Voices. I was inspired to flip it into the track after a recent trip to Printworks, being in the midst of euphoric bodies dancing the night away, almost transported to another plane, gave me the idea for the track and hopefully it’ll return to that setting (as we all have!) soon enough.”

kiskadee is the moniker of Jack Chown, a producer and composer based in London. After having worked behind the scenes collaborating with artists such as Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Tycho Jones and BIIANCO, and engineering for artists such as Jessie Ware, M.I.A and HAELOS, he’s now given birth to his own project: kiskadee.

personalheartbreaker and ENCASSATOR unpack manipulation, obsession and remorse on “Sorry Eyed”

personalheartbreaker

“Sorry Eyed” is a dark shoegaze and alternative rock ballad by personalheartbreaker and ENCASSATOR that explores the space between obsession, emotional dependence, manipulation, and remorse. The new single slowly reveals how reliance is a form of oppression, not just weakness. The result is a psychologically complex song that pulls you into a relationship where trust and exploitation are not mutually exclusive.

The track takes an unsettling emotional turn through its manipulator’s perspective in “Sorry Eyed.” At first, the narrator seems dependent on another person, as if they need comfort, connection, or support. But as the story progresses, that openness starts to resemble exploitation. The song’s heart is the power imbalance, where regret always clashes with self-interest.

This struggle gives the song its emotional weight, because the narrator knows the damage he’s causing but is still addicted to the perks of manipulation. The accompanying music video arrives September 30th and carries that story further with the angel’s trust, devotion, and sacrifice. What begins with faith in a fellow man ends in destruction and offers visual counterpoint to the song’s themes.

“Sorry Eyed” is a collaboration with ENCASSATOR, who produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered the song and played a major role in its development. That full creative engagement helps shape the single into one cohesive piece, where the track’s dark alternative rock, shoegaze identity doesn’t detract from the story but supports it. “Sorry Eyed” is a strong pick for fans who love exploring manipulation and complicated relationships.

“Hell has frozen over” finds Sarina choosing peace over being understood

Sarina

Sarina’s new track, “Hell has frozen over,” explores the less dramatic, more complicated moment of reaching the end of the road, being gaslit, ignored, rejected, and painfully lonely. It translates the emotional burnout into a rock-pop context that’s easy to understand.

“Hell has frozen over” focuses on the decision to step away, instead of explaining, defending, or seeking understanding from people who refuse to listen. The rock foundation gives it the right weight, the pop influence makes it accessible, and the focus stays on the emotional message.

Sarina’s art is the struggle of loss and being strong in yourself. It’s about understanding that protecting your peace is more important than being understood. And that’s the emotional balance that gives the release its character so that the subject matter has relevance beyond a particular circumstance.

“Hell has frozen over“ is a relief from the burden of carrying on a debate that will never be resolved. Sarina turns an experience of isolation into a statement about boundaries, resilience, and the choice not to get caught in the same cycle. The result is a record that’s at its best when it’s being true to what it feels like to finally be free from whatever has been holding you down.
