King Scorpio is an artist based in Maryland who is on the rise. His talents and skills are on full display on his latest EP Lost Love Found Soul, which just dropped on Sunday. Moreover, Scorpio speaks about how he dealt with love and pain in a relationship with his latest work.
“I speak about how I dealt with the pain I caused my ex and how the unfortunate situation affected us both,” King Scorpio said of the EP. “Also I talk about the coping mechanisms I chose to cling to as my escapes.” The R&B artist is inspired by other prominent in the R&B stars like The Weeknd, 6lack, and Jhene Aiko. Furthermore, Scorpio is letting it be known that he’s making room for his own lane and unique sound. Check it out below.
Who are some of your main musical influences?
The Weeknd is by far my biggest musical influence. I’ve been XO since 6th grade and Abel has definitely had a huge impact on my lyrical content and style. 6lack, Tory Lanez, Jhene Aiko, Drake, and Juice WRLD are also large influences I can credit in my style of music.
What are some of your music career goals for the future?
For the short term, I’d like to put out a couple more projects and start doing shows after my next project. That of course depends on the pandemic and where we are at that point in time. I’d also like to continue building up my core fanbase. In the long term, I would love to get back into production. I want to start having a larger hand in the production of my instrumentals like when I first started out.
Tell us about your newest project Lost Love Found Soul. What is it about?
This is my first EP and it’s a telling of the ending and aftermath of my latest relationship and the preceding flings. I speak about how I dealt with the pain I caused my ex and how the unfortunate situation affected us both. Also the coping mechanisms I chose to cling to as my escapes. Then my eventual acceptance of the loss of the relationship, the woman I loved, and taking accountability for my hand in the mess.
What has the response been like to that project?
The sneak peeks and promotions leading up to the project’s release has been overwhelmingly positive. My fans and supporters seem to enjoy the new sound and the direction I’m going in. It was a huge relief as I used to be more partial to melodic and hard rap. The switch to a more R&B inspired sound has been seamless.
What message do you hope fans take away from your music?
I just want my fans to have a better understanding of my mind and the chaos that goes on up there. Of course, I make music for my own personal therapy. But, I also do it for the enjoyment of others. They seem to love it and I’m glad I can create something that touches people. Especially in such a way so I just hope they can identify with what I sing. I’m documenting my pain and struggles as a human.
