Holy shit, this new Skott album is incredible. Stream 'Always Live for Always' here

July 04, 2020 by Gems Secrets in Electro Pop, Electronic, Folk, Indie, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Every once in awhile an album or a project will grab our attention in more ways than one (in a good way). It ends up leaving an imprint on us forever. Right now, we’re excited to say that album is Skott’s ‘Always Live for Always’. An 11-track experience spanning across electro pop to folk influenced, psychedelic gems.

“I wanted a to balance a variety of different soundscapes on my first album – I didn't write it with one singular subject in mind, but there is a common theme of dreams and introspection in the songs. It feels like I've worked on some of these songs for a lifetime, it feels weird to finally say it's done and to put it out there. I hope that people like it and find songs in there that really speak to them. — Skott

There’s something incredibly special about Skott’s vision and her writing style and we look forward to hearing more from the artist in the coming months. Don’t forget to connect with her online and enjoy!

Stream the the rest of Skott’s album ‘Always Live for Always’ here.

I met Dylan in 2013 after we booked him for his first performance in Phoenix. I was working as a promoter and was his driver for the night and for some crazy reason we hit it off and became friends. After countless sessions and numerous songs written together, we finally found a track that worked perfectly. We had been toying around with a few tracks for awhile now and something about WHOA just felt right. Big love and shoutout to him for the support over the years!
