Mumbai Lo-fi Polymath SCayos Announces ‘Whatever Happens, Happens’ Album
December 9, 2022 BY Jason Currell
Today 20-year-old vocalist, producer, and composer SCayos announces his next LP Whatever Happens, Happens. The 12-track LP features collaborations with Souly Had, santpoort, Relyae and more, as well as two tracks with fellow Nettwerk artist Presence. Whatever Happens, Happens builds on SCayos’ October EP You, which received coverage from Lyrical Lemonade, Ones to Watch, Sparky WTF and more.
“Whatever Happens, Happens talks about the fragile journey of grief,” recounts SCayos. “Loss is experienced in so many ways and everyone copes very differently, but there are 5 main stages of it which I chose to express through the album: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Each track is my take on these stages, how I felt during the times of loss, and how I got through them.”
Today, SCayos shares the new single “Under the Stars.” The mellow, washed-out track takes influence from lo-fi artists like Rei Brown and Joji and, like many SCayos tracks, was made in a single night.
“One of my favorite parts of making the track,” shares SCayos, “was making the foley for the drums. I love using household items like keys and little metallic objects I find around the house and implementing them in my music. It helps add a more organic sound and allows me to build layers!”
“Under the Stars” is available at all digital retailers here: https://scayos.ffm.to/underthestars
