Can't Stop Now - Music

Sivu Is British Singer-Songwriter James Page. Affecting And Anthemic 'Miracle Human Error ' Is A Bold Step Forward From Sivu - Marrying His Trademark Brand Of Baroque-Pop Which Has Drawn Frequent Comparisons With Wild Beasts To The Soaring Wide-Screen Quality Of Arcade Fire And The Distorted Aggressive Guitars Of Radiohead Circa-'Creep'. It's A Dramatic But Ultimately Uplifting Mix Produced Alongside Long-Term Collaborator Charlie Andrew Who Has Recently Completed The Second Alt-J Album Due For Release In September . The Surreal Accompanying Video In Which A Couple Collide As The World Appears To Collapse Around Them Was Directed By Georgia Hudson Who Has Recently Worked With Klaxons Swim Deep And MØ . Whilst Growing In Confidence And Ambition Lyrically 'Miracle Human Error ' Retains The Intimate Internal Conflictions That Run Throughout Sivu's Work. He Started Writing Solo Songs Two Years Ago Upon Moving From A Sleepy Cambridgeshire Town To A Claustrophobic Apartment On The Twentieth Floor Of A Daunting Ex-Council Block In Kennington. Frank Sinatra's'Strangers In The Night' Was The Blueprint For A Glitchy Form Of Melodically Dreamy Idiosyncratic Pop Whilst The Name Sivu Was Equally Strange But Memorable A Translation Of His Surname In Finnish It's A Fitting Snapshot Of The Dark And Lyrically Direct Mirror-Image That Would Become James Page's Performing Alias. New Single 'Miracle Human Error ' Was Penned Shortly After Breakthrough Moment 'Better Man Than He' Whose Viral Video Filmed In An MRI Machine Was Filmed In Between Shifts Working In A Call Centre And Picked Up Over Half A Million Hits - With M.I.A Among Those Declaring It Her Video Of The Year.
And Like 'Better Man' 'Miracle Human Error ' Sees Sivu's Mind Wandering Towards Bigger Topics Often Between Dead-End Sales Calls From The Office. It's A Vocal Fear Of The Unknown Asking Questions Of Both The Short-Term Day-To-Day Acclimatisation To London Life And The Bigger-Picture Crisis Of Our Place In The Cosmos. Not Being Religious It's A Theme Sivu Was Surprised To Find Himself Returning To. "With Social Media And Technology It Sometimes Feels Like We're All Getting A Little Colder And Are Becoming Just A Bunch Of URLs " He Explains Pointing To The Oddly-Sing-Along Chorus Of "because It's Time To Collide / This Human Error's What We're Made For / But Now We're Dead Inside / We're Ones And Zeros Of A Half-Lived Life"."I've Always Suffered From Quite Bad Anxiety And 'Miracle Human Error ' Is About That Sense Of Feeling Small In The World - And Me Being As Honest As Possible To Move Forward." Sivu Has Recently Completed His Debut Album ”Something On High” A Stunning Soundtrack Of Time Spent Settling Into A New City Young-Adulthood And Ultimately His Own Skin.
