[B3SCI Records] SKOTT – Lack of Emotion

Out today on B3SCI Records is “Lack of Emotion” the new single from Swedish singer SKOTT. The disco-tinged “Lack of Emotion” is the follow-up to “Amelia” (also on B3). About the track, SKOTT had to say, ““Some people seem to have this off switch, where they can shut off their emotions when things become difficult. The song is about this shell people create – I’ve got this fascination and fear of it because I feel like I’m the complete opposite when it comes to emotions, I can’t deny how I feel. It’s a bit of a melancholic disco.” “Lack of Emotion” is available now digitally (in the US[& Chess Club Records in the UK]) at B3SCI Records.
