about

Less than a year after his debut #electroswing LP on Freshly Squeezed and THE SWING BOT has not been resting. Despite notching up over 6 million streams on Spotify alone with this, already we're here with the 7th and 8th songs since. Now combining predominantly very early vocal jazz and swing, cut up and recontextualised with hip hop and minimal house beats, the likes of Count Basie and (here) Billie Holiday are sampled.

Combined with his leading edge AI video work and trademark moustache-headed resident DJ spot on tour with the Party Like Gatsby crew across Europe, you just can't stop the bot!

lyrics

You told me that I was like an angel
Told me I was fit to wear a crown
So that you could get a thrill
You put me on a pedestal
And then you let me down, let me down

I walked upon a rainbow
I clung onto a star
You had me up in heaven
That's why I had to fall so far

I walked upon a rainbow
I clung onto a star
You had me up in heaven
That's why I had to fall so far

I was even looking for a cottage
I was measured for a wedding gown
That how I got cynical
You put me on a pinnacle
And then you let me down, let me down
How you let me down, down
Let me down

I walked upon a rainbow
I clung onto a star
You had me up in heaven
That's why I had to fall so far
