about

Doncaster-raised, Johannesburg-born artist Skinny Pelembe returns with daydreaming new single ‘My Love Is Burning, Up’, a kaleidoscope whorl of hypnotically-looped vocals and muffled guitar riffs. Delivered with an off-hand, dextrous cadence, Skinny’s lyrics amble between talk of DNA fixes and soul stitches. The talk of stitches and re-fixes is appropriate: the song is a re-work of ‘My Love is Burning, Down’ from Skinny’s lauded debut album, the original featuring as a b-side on the single. It’s another slice of a unique artist’s shapeshifting, enthralling style.

The single follows debut album, “Dreaming Is Dead Now, released earlier this year. Since releasing his debut single in 2017, Skinny has been tipped by The Observer, The Quietus and Huck. Singles “I Just Wanna Be Your Prisoner” and “Spit / Swallow” were both picked for BBC 6 Music’s A-List. He’s been in session for COLORS Berlin, guested with Lauren Laverne, Mary Ann Hobbes and Tom Ravenscroft on 6 Music, with Jamz Supernova on BBC 1xtra, and recorded live sessions for The Vinyl Factory and Worldwide FM. He sold out a headline UK tour last year, was booked for 6 Music’s 2018 showcase at The Great Escape, and has supported Nightmares on Wax and Maribou State on tour.
