Keeper have released their unforgettable ear-worm 'Cynical', in collaboration with 'emo-flecked pop' queen Tally Spear.
Keepers summery new anthem 'Cynical' comes dripping with nostalgia.
One of the brightest new up and coming talents in the alternative music scene, Keeper from South London has already gained high praise with previous releases, including last single 'Taste-It' which saw recognition from BBC Radio 1 Introducing's Alyx Holcombe, Not A Phase Pod, The Heavy Rock Show and more. Most recent single 'Cynical' was written alongside not only Tally Spear but also Jon Cass (As Everything Unfolds) and Matt Thorne. The track explores the end of love, life and blissful childhood innocence.
"This song came to life about a month after a painful, drawn-out breakup - on top of the death of my Grandad and my Dad losing his job, which left my Mum panicking about the house. That breakup - ending a three-to-four-year relationship - had me blasting tracks from the bands I used to love, drowning myself in nostalgia. 'Cynical' was the first song I wrote that year, setting the sonic tone for the rest of the EP. At the time, I was still deep in the mess of everything - right at the point where I had finally ripped off the plaster. Lyrically, 'Cynical' was easy. I was completely in my own head that month - overthinking everything and desperate for a verbal outlet. 'Cynical' took a melancholic, self-reflective route; the true beginning of my healing journey." - (Emanuel Andrade, Keeper)
Taking the shape of a 2000's pop-rock track with inspiration from the likes of Avril Lavigne and Busted to Aries and Ryan Hall, 'Cynical' has a summery yet melancholic feeling to it. Sitting somewhere between emo and Taylor Swift type pop this is truly a single that could be enjoyed by anyone. The feel-good energy of the chorus keeps the track at a high while lyrically it talks of something a little darker. This is one to blast full-volume and scream your lungs out too, till you find yourself smiling and dancing.
