Over the past few years, London-based singer SK has been honing her craft and working tirelessly with her band The Kings. Then, earlier this year, she made her solo debut with the critically well-received "Nostalgia". Now she's back with new single, "When You Know", which she says is actually a prequel to her debut.
Seamlessly blending soul and jazz, SK uses these warm textures as a backdrop to her tale of falling in love with someone immediately. It can be dangerous to leap into something with both feet, but when that all-consuming love hits you sometimes it just feels right. As the title suggests, sometimes your first instincts are right.
Speaking with Complex via email, SK told us: "This is actually the prequel to 'Nostalgia'. I'm one of those people who wears their heart on their fingertips, I met someone and I fell in love with them very quickly — we moved in together after seven days. It was the way he looked at me, he saw completely and accepted all of my insecurities and flaws and loved me anyway. When you meet someone like that and it's so good, it doesn't feel real. It's actually a conversation we had, I asked him what he'd say when people would ask him about us and everything happening so fast and he said 'when you know, you know'."
