Elliott Skinner celebrates his signing to Ninja Tune with "RECALLING"
Singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Elliott Skinner has announced his signing to Ninja Tune alongside the release of his first single, "RECALLING".
“‘RECALLING’ is about not holding yourself to a version of your life that isn’t meant for you. It’s about the pursuit of a better reality. So often we believe and live by the constructs in our societies that help us feel comfortable, but vulnerability isn’t comfortable. It takes work to dig into the realities that hide behind fantasy, to dig into ourselves,” says Elliott Skinner.
“Music has always been a force for all of us to connect to each other - to try and understand each other. It’s been a force for me to learn myself. I wrote the words to ‘RECALLING’ in 2018 and have performed it in many forms, always asking the audience to sing ‘I don’t want another fantasy’ with me. I ask for them to sing it like they mean it. This chant is an excavator. I hope wherever people sing this, they choose to dig,” he continues.
"RECALLING" is out now via Ninja Tune.
