Sydney based singer, songwriter and producer Swaré is back with his third release of 2020, ‘Pray’, following on from the disco influenced ‘Only You’.

The relaxed indie-pop guitar and synth production of the track invites listeners into the raw and final stages of a relationship at its end.

“It was just after I had ended a relationship with someone who turned out to be quite a manipulative person. I felt sorry for them, that as much as I wanted to try and help them, it wasn’t up to me. I couldn’t change someone who didn’t want to change,” Swaré explains.

The intimate but powerful sentiment of the track and lush saxophone grooves, invites listeners to feel as though they can dance their way through even the most turbulent moments of a breakup.

Produced and co-written by Themba Thompson, who also had a hand in producing previous singles ‘Only You’ and ‘Gatsby’, ‘Pray’ is equally as infectious.

“This song was actually the first song Themba and I wrote together. He invited me to come around for a writing session just for fun, and ‘Pray’ ended up being what came out of it,” Swaré added.

Channeling a chilled indie-dance sound somewhere between Neon Indian and Miami Horror, there is an undeniable kind of therapeutic honesty that pulses through the veins of this song.

With more still in store for 2020, ‘Pray’ is another shining facet of the cohesive artistic vision Swaré has confidently established this year.

Sydney based singer, songwriter and producer Swaré is back with his second single of 2020 ‘Only You’, that follows in the footsteps of the confidently charged ‘Gatsby’.

Taking more of a slick indie-pop meets disco approach with the production, he guides listeners on an intergalactic exploration of how you’re ultimately the master of your destiny.

“The concept for ‘Only You’ came about when a handful of negative people were surrounding me in my inner circle, and not believing in my journey, or what I was doing. It was like almost everything in their eyes was boring, uninteresting and uninspiring. Even the stars and space were boring to them, which seemed so ridiculous to me” Swaré explains.

“When the lyrics say ‘it’s only me and you’re back at the start’, I’m referring to how those people will be stuck at the start of their lives, not making anything of themselves, whilst I’m trying to go places. And then, ‘Only you can set you free’ is referring to how it’s up to the individual to change their life, and to choose their path” he adds.

The empowering stance of the song romantically encourages listeners to believe in themselves in the bold way that he has learnt to champion himself. Layered with slick synths and intricate pulsating production, he perfectly captures that unfiltered confidence that we all need to embrace in our day-to-day lives.

Co produced by Themba Thompson, the deeply infectious ‘Only You’ taps into the retrospective groove of his previous singles ‘Conversations’ and ‘I Want To Move’. Channeling a disco infused sonic found somewhere in between Jamiroquai and Miami Horror, there is a nostalgic pulse running deeply through the veins of this song.

With more new music scheduled for later this year, Swaré is re-introducing himself to listeners with a strong cohesive vision of what he wants this next chapter to feel and sound like.
