Portuguese London-based artist Serena Kaos releases her third single ‘Everyone You Know Is Sad’
Serena is a talented multi-instrumentalist Youtuber and street performer, who sings, and plays the piano and guitar. Left her hometown, Portugal to pursue her musical dream in London, United Kingdom. She released three singles in 2022 starting with ‘Shout’ released in June followed up by ‘Live Again’ in September and ‘Everyone You Know Is Sad’ in December.
‘Everyone You Know Is Sad’ is a dark-pop song that gives the listener a mindset “to dance and to act upon their frustrations” said Serena. The song starts out with a dark-toned guitar highlighted by E. piano bells, backed by a downbeat tom groove and deep bass. This sets the stage for Serena to come in with her flawless emotional voice singing poignant simple lyrics completing the sad soundscape. Halfway through the verse vocal harmonies and a jazzy guitar lick are introduced building up for the pre-chorus where the drum groove changes along with the addition of slide and soft plucking guitar lead lines in the background adding depth to the atmosphere. The chorus is a sing-along sweet-bitter ambiance where Serena shows off her range and variety by going into a higher voice singing her heart out with a catchy vocal line.
