Shimmering and shattering its way through a tale of an affair, Skin by Farao bristles with melcanholy and strength as it traverses genres. Mixing folk, pop, roots and blues, she blends what us lowly folk may categorise as types into glorious melodies and an enchanting ode, all smoothed together by a hauntingly beautiful voice. The talented Norweigian songstress played all instrumentation on the track, barring percussion, adding another element to the personal.

All the words I want to hear
You said that I’d had nothing to fear
But she’s the one who’s taking your name
Apologies without the shame
You speak of love with her in mind
This has to end before it’s turning me blind
But you’re the one who went from my skin
And now you can’t go back again
And I let you in, on my skin, on my skin
How I let you in, on my skin, on my skin
