SLUM SOCIABLE RELEASE VIBRANT NEW SINGLE FEATURING MELBOURNE BASED ARTIST KYE

Today, much-loved Melbourne duo Slum Sociable reveal their latest single ‘You’re In My Head feat. KYE.’ The vibrant summer groove marks the duo’s first collaboration on a track.

Since Slum Sociable’s first release in 2015, they have continually proven to be a quintessential pairing. With a notable catalogue of Ed Quinn’s smooth, trip-hop influenced production existing in perfect synchronisation with Miller Upchurch’s enchanting vocals, it’s no question why Slum Sociable’s work firmly stands on its own feet. The duo have effortlessly forged their own creative identity with no remixes and collaborations – until now.

‘You’re In my Head’ sees Slum Sociable sharing their world with KYE, whose soaring vocals take a firm hold of the song’s propulsive rhythms. The earworm bass-line is matched by Miller and KYE’s harmonious energy and the grandiose, festival-ready production courtesy of Ed Quinn and Xavier Dunn.

“Working alongside KYE was a dream come true, and she took this track to another level. We’ve always wanted to make a stomper like this, so it feels good to finally release it”
– Ed Quinn

KYE is the Melbourne-based, Zimbabwe-born and London-raised artist who last year introduced herself with debut single ‘Good Company’. Taking influence from the likes of Kehlani, Solange and NAO, KYE’s modern take on neo-soul is fuelled by her formidable songwriting, effortless vocal and vast network of collaborators in Melbourne’s increasingly renowned community of creatives in R&B, hip-hop and future soul. She brings a unique energy to ‘You’re In My Head’, an energy which is also a part of her exceptional live performances, having shared the stage with Sampa The Great, Ruel, Meg Mac, Jessica Mauboy, Adrian Eagle and more.

“This is my favourite collaboration to date! It’s an honour to be Slum’s first feature, especially on such an infectious and energetic track.” – Kye

‘You’re In My Head feat. KYE’ follows the release of Slum Sociable’s previous single, ‘Explain Myself’. The anthemic track caught the attention of Jack Saunders with a spin on BBC Radio 1 and garnered global support from Apple Music and Spotify. Throughout the course of their musical journey, the duo has accumulated career streams of over 25 million across DSPs. They have also clocked spins on BBC Radio 1, Beats 1 and KCRW, plus triple j and community radio locally, along with online love from Billboard, NYLON, CLASH, Earmilk, Indie Shuffle, Pilerats, Purple Sneakers and more.Slum Sociable are working toward an EP release for 2021.
