K Soul Drops Catchy New Track “Endless”
If you’re tuning in to ‘K Soul’ for the first time, we extend a warm welcome as a Soul Companion. Hailing from London, UK, K Soul’s musical journey has been rich, transitioning from Neo-Soul/R&B to AfroBeats and Amapiano. Now, she’s honed her adaptability, carving a niche as a “Global Dance Music Artist” – a title that may sound elaborate, but we believe it encapsulates her focus: All Things Dance Music!
Now, let’s explore ‘Endless,’ K Soul’s debut exploration into Drum and Bass. Initially an R&B gem from her inaugural EP, ‘Petals Of Me,’ released in December 2018, ‘Endless’ has undergone a metamorphosis. Upon stumbling upon the track online, Go$ha reconstructed it into a Drum and Bass rendition that embodies the concept of eternal love—traversing realms of light and shadow, propelled by the waves of air and algorithms.
Talking about the story behind the music video, the artist shares:
“The concept behind the video was really using the London transport scene (specifically a train station) to symbolise “endlessness” London is a busy city and there are constantly people rushing to get somewhere and trains always going by. I wanted to be dancing in 1 position as people rushed around me as I sing about endless love that isn’t rushing to get anywhere because it is always where it needs to be.
Alternately, we wanted the audience to gage freedom and endless loving energy in the mist of rushy chaos, even down to the clothes I am wearing, my green top says “don’t come back” and my second fit is on the dark urban goth side. The visual aesthetic is an oxymoron in correlation to the song, I want people to see what my lyrics say “light in the night”; there is still beauty in all that is whether it is dark or light”
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
