Boorloo/Perth artist Skyuka casts a spell with her dreamy new single “Fade.” The song is a unique blend of electronica, indie pop, and trip-hop. Skyuka’s voice is also truly stunning. Just see if you don’t have goosebumps by the end. Skyuka wrote the song 10 years ago but shelved it when realising its potential seemed too hard. I’m so glad she came back to it, because it’s truly remarkable.
“I was young and naive and had met someone who only wanted a casual relationship. I was hoping I could reciprocate this only to find that it left me feeling completely empty,” Skyuka explained of this song’s inspiration. “It’s about all the emotions we go through when someone can’t meet us in the way that we want them to. It’s about losing confidence in ourselves because we break our own promises.”
Skyuka will play The Rosemount Hotel on September 25 as part of the Big Tommo Presents – 10 Year Anniversary Show.
