SKOTT UNVEILS SMOLDERING NEW SINGLE, ‘MIDAS’

Critically acclaimed Swedish singer, songwriter and producer Skott returns with “Midas,” a romantic, raw and intimate new track inspired by the legend of the mythical king with the golden touch, released via Dollar Menu in partnership with Cosmos Music.

Shedding light on her songwriting process, Skott reveals “Even before writing the lyrics, I felt it was very romantic. The melodies are a one take that just came to me while I was improvising over the loop. I was hypnotized, and most of the song wrote itself in less than 15 minutes,” she continues. “The lyrics took longer, but it might be the quickest song I’ve ever made. It’s like the song fell from the sky and all the pieces were there, so why would I mess with it?’”

“Midas” serves as the follow up to the hauntingly infectious “Bloodhound,” which earned praise from NYLON, who said “Skott perfectly weaves a cheery chorus into this moody track,” while PAPER Magazine hailed it as “hypnotic” and “gleefully strange,” with Idolator calling it “absurdly catchy.” Skott co-directed and produced the song’s moody music video with Paras IV, which was shot on-location in Rättvik, situated along the eastern shores of Lake Siljan in Sweden, where she grew up. Known for creating one-of-a-kind, hypnotic melodies, both “Midas” and “Bloodhound” deliver in that department, featuring Skott’s signature vocals over delicate production.
