Alternative R&B songstress King avriel returns with a new single off her forthcoming debut project ‘Thesis’. On ‘180’ the young singer gives us a glimpse of her past.
“180 is my attempt to relive a period in my life when I felt I was not my own person, just a giant cliché – an attention-starved, rebellious girl trying to navigate and find my place in this male-dominated industry. I felt the best way for you to understand where I’m coming from and how it’s shaped me was to chronicle some of my teenage ‘rites of passage.’ While those pivotal moments seemingly gave me more freedom and maybe even some moderate success, they only sunk me deeper into a psychological enslavement, cemented in the materialism, vanity, and predatory nature of LA. I think that story, juxtaposed with the trap elements in the beat – a cliché in and of itself – sets up a nice contrast that hopefully makes you think about the culture we’ve all grown up in.”
