Sending Out An S.O.S.

Smoldering with grit and soul, "Born to Be Golden" drags glossy pop through a whiskey-soaked haze... This isn’t the GOLDEN you know — it’s a raw blues rock bop 
------
LYRICS:
------
I was a ghost
I was alone
어두워진 앞길 속에 

Given the throne
I didn't know 
How to believe

I was the queen 
That I'm meant to be
I lived two lives
Tried to play both sides

But I couldn't find my own place
Called a problem child
Cause I got too wild
But now that's how I'm getting paid
끝없이 on stage

I'm done hidin'
Now I'm shinin' 
Like I'm born to be

We dreamin' hard
We came so far
Now I'll believe

We're goin' up, up, up
It's our moment
You know together 
We're glowing

Gonna be, Gonna be
Gonna be golden
Oh

Up, up, up with our voices
영원히 깨질 수 없는
Gonna be, gonna be
Gonna be golden

Oh, I'm done hidin'
Now I'm shinin' like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to be

Waited so long 
To break these walls down
To wake up 
And feel like me

Put these patterns 
All in the past now
And finally live like 
The girl they all see

No more hiding
I'll be shining 
Like I'm born to be

Cause we are hunters
Voices strong
And I know I'll believe

We're goin' up, up, up
It's our moment
You know together 
We're glowing

Gonna be, gonna be 
Gonna be golden
Oh

Up, up, up, with our voices
영원히 깨질 수 없는
Gonna be, gonna be 
Gonna be golden

Oh, I'm done hidin'
Now I'm shining like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to be

You know we're gonna be
Gonna be Golden

We're gonna be, gonna be

Born to be
Born to be glowin'
밝게 빛나는 우린

You know that it's our time...

No fears
No lies
That's who we're born to be.

SINCERE IMPOSTER is an intimate collection of artists exploring a curious mixture of New Wave, Dance, EDM, Folk Rock, Metal, Art Pop, Electro, Dreamwave, and Experimental World Pop. Collectively, this is known as QUIRKPOP — music that pushes the creative limits of traditional pop.

Expect an unpredictable journey through sound, emotion, and humor, where genres collide and pop bends in strange new ways. Each song is conceived, composed, and performed with total sincerity, whether it’s built from voices, instruments, software, or hybrid experimentation. The focus is on the music itself: if it resonates, it resonates. No explanation required.

SINCERE IMPOSTER is curated by two musicians, both living within the same body, sharing a singular existence. They identify as Danielle & Dave. They are both psychologically and musically confused, yet extremely and unapologetically sincere.

Influences range from Weird Al and Nathan Fielder to David Lynch, Rosalia, Monatik, Atarashii Gakko!, Rammstein, T-Pain, and T-Swift. 

Danielle & Dave’s favorite inventions include the vacuum and the peach pitter. Their father is simply known as Vessel… who may be an entity or a god.
