Premiere: Debrah Scarlett – ‘Cynical Youth’

A Norwegian newcomer that is ready to sparkle...

Debrah Scarlett is still only 23 years old, a young talent coming into full bloom.

The Norwegian artist has a knack for incredible pop melodies, yet often these are expressed in curiously abstract ways.

New EP 'DYS(U)TOPIA' is incoming, and it's a playful yet deeply intelligent introduction to Debrah's world.

New cut 'Cynical Youth' offers breathlessly beautiful vocals, the crystalline production aligned against songwriting that contains real humanity.

Clash is able to share the video for 'Cynical Youth', and it's a riveting watch. Debrah explains:

"Nico Schmied and I had a long talk together before we started creating the concept for the video. I feel that Nico Schmied, and Gregor Brändli, the co-producer understood very quickly what my message in the song was and what style and mood it should have for the video. We filmed in the woods of Switzerland. It was cold and very dark."

Tune in now.
