Listen To: Testify (K-Syran & Amelle Berrabah)
Norwegian singer/sonwriter, K-Syran, teamed up with former Sugababe Amelle Berrabah, to release their controversial duet: Testify. This track will be out on May 6th, via Intimacy Records, and delves into the growing trend of how girls are turning to their best female friends for physical love when their husbands or boyfriends are no longer able to meet their needs.
Label mates on Metropolis’ M:89 Records, K-Syran and Amelle met after the Sugababe heard the demo to K-Syran’s controversial track. She felt that it hit a personal neve with her as she had just split with her husband following their whirlwind romance. Testify’ depicts the story of the unbreakable bond between girlfriends and how that bond can take on varying guises and different perceptions of how love can be expressed.
K-Syran explains:
It’s a modern song of female empowerment. I’d seen many of my female friends turn to their girlfriends once their marriages break down, so I felt compelled to get that message into song, as I see it as a growing trend. Amelle was searching for a new single and she felt the message of this track grabbed her from the start. ‘Testify’ can be read in many ways. Every woman will find it touches her differently.
