+ JUNE 2023 PART III

Last year Swiss five-piece Sirens of Lesbos released their epic debut LP "SOL" to critical acclaim. If you haven't woken up to the relatively new act – who grabbed the attention of and subsequently collaborated with Atlanta rap-star JID, Dreamville producer Christo, and "one to watch" UK vocalist Theodor Black on the album – then it's time!

2021 sees the first step towards their second LP with spectacular new single, "I See Stars" - a cover of sorts, which takes its vocal hook from Supersempfft's 1980 track of the same name. The German synthesiser pioneers, whose fans stretched from Herbie Hancock to Kraftwerk, have already given the track their seal of approval. When you consider the act helped forge hip-hop history when they created the beats to Timezone's seminal "The Wild Style" using the Roboterwerke drum machine they designed, it's quite the accolade.

Sirens of Lesbos' Worldbeat ethos continues Supersempfft's tradition of blending diverse influences, synthesising these into a distinct musical world on "I See Stars". Calming and uplifting the listener with each play, the act - producers Melvyn Buss and Arci Friede, co-producers and vocalist sisters Jasmina and Nabyla Serag, and Denise Häberli, the group's art director - cement themselves as pioneers of audible Prozac and highlight their extensive and otherworldly talents for making music that you would marry.

With lyrics referencing Wu-Tang Clan's debut 1992 single "Protect Ya Neck" and RZA's book "The Tao of Wu", Sirens of Lesbos connect to the hip-hop lineage Supersempfft touched decades before. In addition, there are hints to Paulo Coelho's "Warrior of the Light", which continue the band's exploration of spiritual transformation.

In further sharing the visionary spirit of Supersempfft, whose original artwork featured the adventures of an intergalactic, tuba-playing frog, "I See Stars" is accompanied by a cosmic video. Directed by Lionel “Vinyl” Williams - the LA-based, neo-psychedelic artist and grandson of cinematic composer John Williams - the video is probably one of the first virtual vertical music videos ever made.

Lyrics:

Sitting in the rising sun
Watching for the time to come
I see stars

Mama said protect ya neck
It's cold out there and life ain't fair
Wear a dagger, be prepared
Be true, give love, be a warrior of light
Of light

Sitting in the rising sun
Watching for the time to come
I see stars

Baba said be moderate
The truth is vague, don't be afraid
Wear a dagger, be prepared
Be true, give love and how instead of why
Of why

Sitting in the rising sun
Watching for the time to come
I see stars

Sitting in the rising sun
Watching for the time to come
I see stars

I See Stars

Bill (feat. Myd).mp3

I keep going
I can't stop
The fire remains in me
I will not drop

The times I wanted to give up
I almost won
The times I wanted to give up
I felt I was done

Then something inside me
Said keep going on
This is what you're meant to be
If you so choose
Not to be done

In a world where life does not seem fair
You have to keep working harder
Don't despair
For your time is going to come

Hold on tight
Hold for love
Hold for dreams
Hold on, you've begun

Everyone has their own way
What you do
Should not copy
What they say

Be you
Be who you're supposed to be
Be the one who loves
Be the one who dreams

I know you can win
I know you can dream
I know you will shine
Like all the stars above the sea

In a world where life does not seem fair
You have to keep working harder
Don't despair
For you're time is going to come

Hold on tight
Hold for love
Hold for dreams
Hold on, you've begun
