Hailing from Rome, 29-year-old artist KUNI, the project from Eleonora Danese, shares her debut single “Sleep Baby”. A woozy alt-pop offering that wraps her silky vocals around a stellar orchestration of synthetic sounds, the track is a floating debut. Taking her name from the videogame Tekkan, KUNI’s obsession with Japanese culture soon saw her specialising in Korean and Japanese in her languages degree.
““Sleep Baby” is my way to say to the other person “There is so much more I could say to you to make you understand me better but I won’t because that would hurt way too much”. It is my way to show how protective I am of their feelings. I love to share stories and things about my past, because I feel very attached to the past itself, but I know I can’t always say everything. Oversharing is kind of a problem for me and trying to control it shows just how much I care about who I am sharing with, since stories about us are also about others and often generate unexpected feelings and reactions that aren’t always good for the ones who are listening.”
