London based Italo-British experimental duo SOUP! is the new electro pop outfit we didn’t know we needed.
They’ve recently dropped their new single ‘All To Myself’ featuring Meredith Adelaide on vocals. Together, they make a game-changing pairing, with SOUP! breaking rules and boundaries within the paradigms of pop music, and Meredith bringing their thoughtful honest lyrics and dreamy vocals.
‘All To Myself’ is “born out of a remote collaboration transcending physical borders,” says Meredith as the new single maintains the essential ingredients of SOUP!’s debut ‘All The People’ whilst their abstractionist approach, dystopian soundscapes portray a symbiotic performance between the human and the machine.
Drummer Matt Hardy and award winning producer Gigi Piscitelli created SOUP! in 2019 and managed to connect with meredith via an international music network based in London and LA called Rattle Collective during lockdown.
Speaking on the process of ‘All To Myself’, Matt said: “The track began with a kind of pitched-up vocal loop. To date, I have no idea what it is or where it came from.
“We jammed over this as a band and developed the current groove. Loads of crazy arpeggiators and guitar loops were added in the process. We really wanted it to sound as mad as possible!”.
The track really started to come together during phase two and three, as Meredith added her vocals and Gigi enacting the final synthesis and adding the dark, sweeping synths, which take the track to a different place and enhance its cinematic character.
