SIPHO. has shared the official music video for latest single ‘SOBER’.
The track is taken from his forthcoming debut album ‘PRAYERS & PARANOIA’, due out on 27 October 2023 via Dirty Hit.
Led by a fusion of jungle and classical influences, ‘SOBER’ is accompanied by a music video directed by longtime collaborator Benji Beacham.
Discussing the single SIPHO. commented, “I’m always drawn to these badass characters, like Action Bronson, or Jet Li – these people that are almost like, unreal. I kind of based this on that. The lyrics are painting the picture of a badman, but it’s over the top – he’s in a suit, he drives a big Lexus. Someone that’s both feared and respected. But it shows their vulnerabilities. Some people end up in these places and they don’t know how they got there. And then you’re just lost and confused, left isolated by your power.”

The rising star’s highly anticipated debut record is a product of an eclectic musical palette and will see the Birmingham native channel influence from his childhood. The album embraces the complexities of retaining hope in the face of growing and becoming an adult. The project acts as a refreshingly honest acknowledgement of self-worth, faith, insecurity, and anger, binding together to inform critical conversations on becoming an adult and living through the most complex form of humankind in history.
