Emerging once more into the limelight, KUOKO, a Hamburg-based multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, invites us to embark on a blissful sonic journey with the release of ‘Loser‘, her latest single from an eagerly awaited album, to be brought into existence later this year under the Kabul Kabul Fire Records.
Much like the mirthful memory of a long summer’s day, ‘Loser’ is a track that feels like a friend. It’s an open invitation to sing along, creating an atmosphere one wishes would never end. Fortunately, there’s a repeat button. This track is a sunlit traverse through a landscape shaped by French House music, leading to a resplendent daydream of electronic pop.
Despite its upbeat vibe, the track carries an empowering message. KUOKO elaborates, “The lyrics of this song declare, ‘I would rather be a loser than the one who never dares, I would rather mess it up a hundred times, times, times / I would rather face my fears’. It is a call to the listener to recognize the courage inherent in artistic creation, underlining that success and failure are two inseparable companions accompanying us on the road to achievement”.
