True - What I've Lost

Following the release of their previous single, "Colors Of My Estimation", Swiss future R&B duo TRUE, comprised of Daniela Sarda (vocals and keys) and Rico Baumann (keys, drums, drum machines and sound design) have just unveiled their new single and music video for for "What I've Lost", the latest installment in an ongoing series of live videos. "What I've Lost" has been described a a syrupy, anthemic radio ballad infused with a rich dose of bitter-sweet introspection. The song recounts real-life loss and the trying trials of the search for acceptance. It's a sugar coated, gut-wrenching confession. 

The piece was born, almost fully formed, during a late night improv, following one of those heart-in-the-palm-of-your-hand, and flat out on the table type of conversations. The writing and the production has a mild post Dilla swagger to it – all analog synth lines and taut, snappy drum machine Bap! The vocals suffuse the formula with soothing, deep purple, narcotic sweet talk – with melodies which are disarmingly irresistible.

The duo explains: "Playing and singing live is where we come from, and it's also how we write our songs. They're not born on the computer, we just play. So we liked the idea of showcasing them properly. And now we have two versions of the songs: the original studio version and the live-video version, which is great!"



"What I've Lost" is scheduled for release on December 19th via Mouthwatering Records.

Premiere via Tone Deaf.
