keaton dekker - 'ITYK'
East London based DIY artist keaton dekker shares dreamy second single ‘ITYK’
‘ITYK’ lives in a world of soothing comfort. Warm vocals and soaring melodies coloured by 80s nostalgia lead into an instantly infectious chorus that makes the sun shine a little brighter. With bright synths and groove-infused melodies, keaton dekker has crafted a song that perfectly reflects the intent behind its beautiful production - “I made ‘ITYK’ in my room whilst honestly wanting to be dancing by the tide at sunset. I wanted to create pure warmth with sound, like when sun rays hit the surface of your face,” Keaton explains. “The song addresses miscommunication, and how it can create a huge misjudgement of character. The twists and turns of being in a friendship that isn’t 100% open and honest.”
With only two songs to his name, keaton is already a strong contender to become one of the most exciting artists of 2020. Now we wait (for single number three).
