Polish audio-visual artist Szopa (Damian Malecki) has released his existential new single ‘Where Do I Go’ featuring Kezia Warwood.
The melodic offering will be the first single off Szopa’s upcoming third album ‘The Prayerbook’, a medieval Roman-Catholicism themed project scheduled for release on August 16th.
With an electronic infusion and driving beat, ‘Where Do I Go’ tackles some big questions about life and death through Szopa’s thoughtful production. The track kicks off with Warwood’s airy vocals over hazy synth textures. As the song builds, Szopa’s understated voice joins in as they ask ‘How do I know that once I’m gone my spirit will live on?’ Their contrasting vocal styles weave together in an eerie harmony, perfectly capturing the single’s contemplation about the temporary nature of our existence.
Szopa: “It’s a very simple and straight-forward song about understanding the process of living and accepting the concept of dying.”
Damian Malecki was born in Swiebodzin, a small town in Poland near the western border of Germany. With a keen interest in art, poetry and music since early childhood, he started playing the piano at the age of 16. After leaving his hometown in 2014 to study Psychology at the University of Derby, he moved to Sheffield in 2017 where production of his first album started, marking the beginning of “Szopa”.
The audio-visual artist has since released album ‘Hollow Trees’ in 2020 via Requiem Records, produced by Sheffield-based NORT, followed by sophomore album ‘Vital Organs’ in 2022. As deeply personal ‘The Prayerbook’ is scheduled for release this August, multitalented Szopa continues his poignant musical journey.
