Private Dicks frontman, Gav King is making his solo debut with his album Skeletons out on March 29th and ahead of that comes the lead single, “Profiled.”
The fascinating narrative was inspired by his unexpected revelation that he served as the real-life muse for the character Gary King in Simon Pegg‘s 2013 film The World’s End.
With honest lyrics that confess a mix of emotions he experienced upon discovering this revelation, “Profiled” captures the essence of shock, flattery, and self-reflection. The song effortlessly blends Gav’s personal story with catchy beats and infectious chorus, inviting one into his world of introspection and self-discovery.
As Gav shares the inspiration behind the track, he says,
“Each song on Skeletons is about significant moments that have impacted significantly upon my life. ‘Profied’ tries to reflect not only the shock I felt upon being told to go and see The World’s End, Simon Pegg’s final part of the Cornetto Trilogy; on one hand feeling used but on the other, flattered, enough to also write a song about it in response. The story itself is worth hearing.”
“Profile” not only tells a compelling story but also invites one to reflect on their own experiences of being profiled or unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight. As Skeletons prepares to hit the masses, “Profiled” offers a glimpse into Gav’s journey of self-discovery and reflection, promising an album filled with heartfelt and authentic storytelling.
