Premiere: Cobrah’s On The Run From Reality In New Wave-Inspired “U Know Me”

Last year, Swedish artist Cobrah turned heads and picked up a nomination at the Swedish Grammys for her direction work on her debut video “IDFKA”. Now, hoping to build on that impressive early success, Cobrah is back with a new electro pop single called “U Know Me” that’s crammed full of imagination and riotous teenage rebellion. Described as a descendant of both the punk and voguing scenes, “U Know Me” is actually quite a bit more than that, with a bass-heavy production that would fit seamlessly into the playlists of any DJ in 2019. In fact, to suggest Cobrah is at least a little inspired by modern house music and even bassline wouldn’t be that much of a stretch, even in amongst the vogue attitude and punk-like vocals.

Speaking with Complex via email, Cobrah told us: “It captures the naivety of being young on the run from reality, depending and completely relying on someone who can’t be trusted.”
