SOUKOU ‘bloodline’ | Premiere

Premiering EP, ‘bloodline,‘ by the incredible Berlin-based newcomer SOUKOU, offers a personal insight into family-focused questions, which are usually concealed with polite nods and unhealthy communication.

Family carries a bond that is stronger and much more honest than any other connection in our lives. With time, memories may fade, and people can drift apart, but the long-brewing trauma lingers until you’re ready to ask for help and heal.

‘bloodline’ acts as a testament to SOUKOU’s organic development and emotional liberation after she’s suffered life-hindering panic attacks. In search of herself, SOUKOU had to process and heal from generational traumas, including war history, abuse, racism, fear, and love.

This project can be seen as a helpful guiding tool and a majestic ode to SOUKOU’s growth and artistry. Combining elements of electro-op, R&B, neo-soul, and her emotive vocals, she uses music as a medium to fight for future generations and a breakdown of toxic generational habits.

“bloodline is about the different aspects of family. It’s about the stories we share and love that sometimes fade. Family is more than just a bloodline and everything that comes with it; it’s about choosing who you want to be and breaking free of generational habits,” SOUKOU shares, classifying ‘bloodllne’ as her most personal body of work yet.
