Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh they warned me Yeah they warned me about you For the first time I gave all myself to you For the first time I couldn’t hold back Blind to the cuts, blind to the cuts I couldn’t hold back Blind to the cuts Blind to the cuts For the first time I couldn’t hold back I didn’t know I was hurting you (blind to the cuts, blind to the cuts) I didn’t know I was hurting you (for the first time) You didn't know I was hurting too (I couldn’t hold back) I didn’t know I, I didn’t know I would bruise All I longed for How I longed to be a man For the first time I gave all myself to you For the first time I couldn’t hold back Blind to the cuts, blind to the cuts Cos up in my head You’d been here before, been here before You knew the ways of the world So why’d you seem scared? I didn’t know I was hurting you (blind to the cuts, blind to the cuts) I didn't know I was hurting you (for the first time) You didn't know I was hurting too (I couldn’t hold back) I didn’t know I, I didn’t know I would bruise Yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah

about

“The beatboxer turns electronic singer-songwriter... gloriously melancholic” – The Times
"SK Shlomo's record squares up to depression with such style... brilliant music" - Eddy Temple-Morris

Best known as a collaborator with Bjork, Ed Sheeran and Damon Albarn, World Looping Champion SK Shlomo’s solo debut is partly a drive to address demons that lurked in his past. The first solo song that he’d ever truly opened up on, was the haunting, hypnotic The First Time, a multi-layered, richly-atmospheric recollection of losing his virginity.

‘Surrender’ is SK Shlomo’s intoxicating debut album exploring his struggle with depression and trauma recovery. Richly-atmospheric, blending beatboxing with epic synths and samples, the album journeys through life's darkest moments and celebrates new beginnings.
