xskarma, Hello, glasscat

Combining their talents for an infectious new original, artist xskarma and singer glasscat have teamed up to present their new single, “Hello”. The track immediately draws in listeners with a powerful downtempo beat. Layered with filtered drums and interstellar synths, it sets the stage for glasscat’s spellbinding vocals. As she executes riveting lyrics onto the song, xskarma weaves in chilling effects, tantalizing echoes, and other intriguing soundscapes.

Giving his understanding of the deeper meaning behind “Hello”, xskarma explains, “the track is about the unspoken darkness in a relationship and how sometimes a partner can seem distant and distracted, living in a parallel universe. The inspiration came from a glitchy Timbaland track. I then played the live drum beat as an evolution of that and built the rest from there.” Between its entrancing vibe and seductive vocals from glasscat, “Hello” is a fresh blend of genres and style.

While this new collab is definitely mesmerizing, it is far from the only captivating project that xskarma has created. Hailing from Bristol, UK, this songwriter, producer, and drummer, has cultivated a special fusion of indie, trip hop, and funk over the years. With “Hello” marking his first release of 2023, there is sure to be more to come.
