ZEKIEL | ‘Skipping School’ Goodbye to Summer
Sydney-based alternative Hip-Hop artist ZEKIEL bounces onto the scene with his second single, ‘Skipping School,’ produced and engineered by DREXL, a duo consisting of Robert Conley and Jack Gray.
Backing up the success of his debut single, ‘Writing Away,’ ZEKIEL partners with Universal Music and Island Records to bring, ‘Skipping School,’ to your ears.
The track draws immediate attention opening with deep tuned vocals, setting the tone for ZEKIEL’s reclining, almost spoken word flow. ZEKIEL’s cadence allows each word to have a memorable impact, and coupled with his adept story-telling ability, makes for an immersive, vibey listen.
ZEKIEL describes the motivation behind, ‘Skipping School,’:
“Skipping School is a metaphor for when someone is too cool, or thinks they’re too cool, for you. It’s about me realizing at the very last moment that the girl I thought I wanted to be with wasn’t at all what I wanted! This new girl started at our school in grade 8 and it wasn’t until two years later that I mustered up the courage to actually tell her that I liked her.”
The tracks relatability resonates from the first listen. This one is an anthem for the shy guys of the world.
