Scout – 'Never Fade'

Emerging dream pop artist Scout shares promising debut single ‘Never Fade’.

Carried by shimmering electronica and a cinematic production, ‘Never Fade’ will immediately appeal to die-hard MUNA fans with its gorgeously resonant sound. Swimming in this pool of hazy dark pop, Scout’s vocals are amplified by a synthy echo that mirrors their sentimental take on nostalgia. “It’s a kind of snapshot of the stage of heartbreak when everything feels like a reminder/brings up memories of your ex,” Scout says about ‘Never Fade’. “I guess I like to roll around in the darkness and romanticise for a bit too long because ultimately that’s all that’s left of the relationship at that stage and it’s hard to let go, but it’s also the process and the birthplace for a lot of relatable music, at least for me."

Heartfelt and intricate, ‘Never Fade’ serves as a stunning introduction to Scout’s extremely eloquent musicianship that combines intimate storytelling with powerful vocals and immersive soundscapes. If you love to drown in soaring synths, you should definitely keep an eye on this one.
