Album review: Kid Bookie – Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead
Kid Bookie holds up a mirror to every side of himself on chaotic yet skilful third LP, Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead.
Watch the video for Kid Bookie’s new single Scars, taken from his long-awaited album Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead.
After recently teasing a new single and “one of the coldest breakdowns of the year”, Kid Bookie has unleashed Scars, and announced details of a brand-new album.
As he previously told us, this highly-anticipated record goes by the name Songs For The Living // Songs For The Dead – and it’ll arrive on September 13 via Marshall.
Its announcement comes alongside single and video Scars, which Bookie shares is “about not being able to leave when you know you should. You’re in a mental torture prison, and you haven’t got the strength to leave. You know you should leave, but you’re scared, you’re hurt, and this is what the scars can make you do – people put you in mental prisons, and sometimes the only thing you have left to remember is the scars they leave.”
Watch the video for Scars below:
Meanwhile, of Songs For The Living… as a whole, he says that, “A lot of this album is about feeling inadequate. There are different facets and layers of that inadequacy, and it covers most of my inadequate parts, whether that’s my art or feeling inadequate in terms of love.”
