“Weep your tears next to me, keep this hidden from me.

Drain your blood over me, keep this hidden from me.”

Keep Back is the latest single from Sydney Electronic artist Lupa J! Due for release at the back end of 2017, Keep Back’s release is just a tiny taste of what’s to come from her upcoming EP A House I Don’t Remember.

The near four and a half minute track is everything Lupa J is about! Premiering the track on Triple J last week, Keep Back is a ethereal, worldly club hit driven by a real thumping electronica backbeat, a thrilling vocal range and real, deeply relevant lyrics about the two-way street in relationships and the reality of neglecting yourself while giving it all to others.

“Follow your fears, keep me out of here. Keep back. Show me the house you grew up in, I’ll see what hung on your walls. Hold me too close for comfort so I can hold you responsible.”

Keep Back is a wicked single in every form with a rollercoaster ride and satirical taste to boot! If Keep Back has anything to say, I dare say it definitely anticipates A House I Don’t Remember as one of the most exciting Aussie Electronic EPs released in 2017. I cannot wait to see what Lupa J brings to the table with the new EP!

Lupa J, Keep Back. Go check it out!
