Working with producer Jon Cass for the energetic new single, the track is taken from Keeper’s EP. Armed with a powerful arrangement, the instrumentation includes synthesisers, guitar, 808s, snares, claps, gang vocals and even ‘butt slaps’ – if this track doesn’t scream versatility, who knows what will! Easy on the ears and diving into many different genres, ‘Soul’ firmly stands out from the crowd. Armed with an earworm chorus, try getting Keeper’s brand new single out of your head – you won’t want to!
Speaking about the new release, Keeper shares, “Soul, for me, has two meanings. The song itself is about getting bored. Bored of where you live, bored of the people you’re with, bored of the shop, and bored with the sky above you. It’s a song about having a need to break out, like a Hyperpop version of Pop-Punks “I hate this town”. How life starts off fine, but gradually the monotonous routine of it all leaves you feeling burnt out, but what’s the point of leaving?
The chorus is someone begging to run away, but waiting for a reason, because otherwise, what’s the point. The video is a little different. It is about how certain larger than life news-anchors instigate and frame.”
