GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING SAM MARTIN UNVEILS “SUGAR IS SWEET”

“The video for ‘Sugar Is Sweet’ picks up where the visual for ‘Sabotage’ left off,” Sam tells Baeble. “We see a flashback of the protagonist as a child experiencing his first feelings of love and then we fast forward to him meeting a beautiful girl that is no good for him. The temptation is too much for the young man but as the video progresses we slowly see the relationship deteriorate, ending in a break up and teasing the rest of the story.”

I wanted to put this out today to remind anybody that needs to hear: It’s ok to be alone. Respect yourself enough to get out of something toxic. You can leave if you think you should even if there’s love there. Also a reminder that Valentine’s Day is a fraudulent holiday made up by somebody to sell you shit.”

VASCO CHANNELS LOVE & NOSTALGIA IN SOPHOMORE SINGLE “N NOW I FEEL LIKE”

“N Now I Feel Like is a song about nostalgia and past time,” Vasco remembers and recalls the heartfelt inspiration and emotion behind the track: “It’s about growing up and still longing for the innocent feeling of youth, while adjusting to the feeling, that life is a progress and no feeling is static. Written with my very good friends of the band Scarlet Pleasure and sung by lead singer Emil. I think his voice and the lyrics speaks to a memory in everybody, and the video made by Jonas Bang is associating the thin curtain blowing in the wind with how life just happens and disappears. The release on Valentine’s Day was important because it is often through childhood lovers that the memories are strongest; that is important to remember and stand by instead of regretting lost love.”
