ESCOE
ESCOE is a multi-dimensional talent whose musical identity is shaped by the cities he’s lived in and travelled to over the years. Influenced by the likes of James Brown, David Bowie and Outkast, his enigmatic output has already found fans in high places - Missy Elliott being one of them. With an innate ability to reinterpret the soul of every genre while paying homage to its origin is what makes ESCOE's music so riveting. ESCOE's debut EP, Straight To 7, Part 1 is dirty and futuristic one minute (“Goin Home”) and traditionally soulful the next (“Straight To 7”). Complete with live harmonicas, live drums, 808s and more, sonically it marries R&B with jazz, Hip Hop with pop, and dance with soul, whilst lyrically ESCOE explores today’s judgemental society and its lack of tackling the real issues, planetary love and having a southern mentality mixed with other worldly aspirations. A multi-genre cocktail ready to intoxicate its listeners, music hasn’t been this experimentally rich in quite some time.
