What happens when cinematic electronic meets synth pop? We get Sounds of Walker.
Written on a flight between Bangkok and Koh Samui, Thailand, the artist confides this about the song,
As I saw what seemed to be hundreds of tiny islands strewn across the horizon, shimmering like stars in the sun’s orange glow, I had a strong feeling that we all are like those tiny islands. Whole worlds within, fully sustained, but yet connected in so many ways. ‘KO’ explores the transformative power of self-discovery and personal strength. It encourages surrendering to vulnerability and resisting societal norms of what you ‘should be’.
Sounds of Walker is known to family and friends as Milan de la Rocha. The mastermind behind Sounds of Walker has been creating melodies and beats since his early days at the piano and lets his rhythmic Cuban and Mexican heritage flow through not only his veins but music.
With “KO”, Sounds of Walker is urging one to be one’s self and to ignore the negativity and obstacles that may stand in one’s way. He’s encouraging one to find the strength within through contemplative and beautiful melodies.
