New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) Swedish native Soso will release her debut album That Time I Dug So Deep I Ended Up In China, May 1, 2012. Today Soso releases the companion video to her power pop version of cult legend Cody ChesnuTT's song "My Women My Guitars" which Perez Hilton recently noted has "hints of Lauryn Hill and Amy Winehouse". Check out the video where it premiered today with Consequence of Sound or on YouTube.
That Time I Dug So Deep I Ended Up In China features single "Who's Gonna Love Me," a slow-building pop gem that battles intimate issues like insecurity and abandonment, with a "fuck-you" attitude. " Happy People" is a soulful and bittersweet song evoking an earlier time, when life was simple and free from complication. "Joaquin Phoenix" is a one-take-love-song to the decadent actor that Soso recorded impulsively after watching his mockumentary "I'm Still Here" in 2010. The record is also cut with a number of lush preludes and semi-instrumentals, including "Sab Lackath," on which Soso recorded herself crying and edited it into rhythmic beats. It is clear that within the parameters of her technique, Soso truly invites us to her inner most private places.
Soso's debut takes listeners on an exhilarating, and occasionally pleasurably awkward journey. It dares to explore the skeletons we hide in the closet, all while set to an incessantly catchy soundtrack. We dare you not to be moved.
