Change is inevitable. It can strike your throat when you least expect it like a python slithering in waves across the desert floor. But, if we’re willing and capable, we can clutch the serpent in our fingers and provoke the change all on our own. Cleveland electronica upstart SKINNS knew it was coming, and so, he embarked on the journey of a lifetime. New single “Before I’m Dead,” containing dark-pop ripples and appropriately dangerous mood thanks to producer TYC, is his way of a chest-pounding declaration. “I hear the demons screaming in my head / They say I’m dead,” he sings, a silky tenor collecting each gaseous star into his hands. As he’s stepped across the threshold of power and self-worth, tearing away the toxic gathering of clouds that have hung as a halo, SKINNS uncovers the long-buried truth and flies free as a budding monarch from a cocoon.
“Before I’m Dead” is just the beginning of SKINNS’ global takeover.
