SKOTT - LACK OF EMOTION

I know it hasn't been long since I first introduced SKOTT to you, but her most recent song deserves some attention. Following on from her debut song 'Porcelain' that caught everyone's attention and the two singles that preceded it 'Wolf' and 'Amelia' SKOTT has not only shown her diversity as a singer but has further enforced her status as one to watch in the coming months. The Norwegian songstress' newest song 'Lack of Emotion' is different from her previous singles in that it has a consistently upbeat rhythm that leans more towards the dance/electronic genres, differentiating itself from the moodier folk/indie sounds that have come to be associated with SKOTT's emerging musical style. With that said, the song still showcases a dark twist that is becoming common in all of SKOTT's songs, featuring an eerie whistle breakdown in the middle of the track, echoey choir-like background vocals and swelling string instruments that make the song almost cinematic in places. This latest single explores SKOTT's talent as a truly spellbinding singer, the song featuring welcoming falsetto pitches and a theatrical flair which is slowly becoming a theme within the Norwegian's music.

Lyrically the song is surprising, consisting of serious and emotive words that are disguised by the track's upbeat tempo. (And you feed all the lies in my head, Still you never get me nowhere / I never asked you to come and save me / Maybe I will die alone, But I won't have to bother once I'm gone). 'Lack of Emotion' is a perfect example of how SKOTT can mix mainstream pop rhythms with dark and edgy songwriting that evokes a moving and sombre tone, creating a distinct sound. This latest single sees the Norwegian chanteuse build and develop her musical style, the eclectic and enchanting nature of her songwriting abilities already earning her a loyal and growing fanbase.
