Album · Electronica · 2019
Sio is a girl in love—navigating ideals, first contact, grand gestures, racing, falling, soaring, warts and all. On her debut album sbtxts, the Joburg-based singer/songwriter shares her stories with dream-like directness, and a distinctive voice coloured with electronic soul.
There’s an inherent lyrical quality to her work, which is why it’s only apt that she wrote a poem exclusively for Apple Music to describe her journey of love. With one lyric from each of the album’s 17 songs, this is sbtxts—a poem by Sio.
sbtxts I laid an orchestra of love at your feet while thoughts of him rain like velvet drops on my skin I found a place to run to while dreaming in retrospect I’m struggling for breath coz you double tap my vein spinning fairytales from false fables see I’ve been burned by the passions of romance and I lost my heart again covering the simplicity of that phase I’m caving in battling to make sense of space touching spaces and place beyond this I watch you undress your soul your soul was never blu see I like you I’ve been running across time for you —Sio
