New music this week from Scott Helman – who says –<\/p>\n
“This song was a big step for me in exploration and limits.\u00a0 I wanted to take myself as far as I could down the line of \u2018uncomfortable\u2019 while still maintaining what feels like me. Ultimately, I thought it was such a special thought \u2013 the idea that someone can be so beautiful that you just want a bit of them to become part of you. In that thought, there is so much beauty and humour \u2013 the transcendence of traditional gender roles, the flirt, the strangeness. That\u2019s what excited me about our initial demo, and what continues to excite me now.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cPretty\u201d is the second track to be released from Scott\u2019s forthcoming project, due out next year.<\/p>\n
