KOVACS
Dutch singer Kovacs — the voice behind the 2023 album *Child of Sin*, which featured a duet with Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann — will release “Leave the Sun Behind” on August 28, the second single from a new chapter that began earlier this year with “A Perfect Crime.”
Kovacs: “While its predecessor explored the blurred space between memory and imagination, ‘Leave the Sun Behind’ turns to a different kind of memory: a nostalgic farewell to the carefree summers and innocence of youth. It’s a song about growing older without completely letting go of who you once were—it captures the strange beauty of looking back on a world you vividly remember but can never return to.”
Musically, “Leave the Sun Behind” continues Kovacs’ exploration of electronic music while preserving the dark atmosphere and unmistakable intensity that have always defined her work. Driven by the raw energy of Berlin’s clubs, she carefully explored how to blend this with her distinctive, soulful voice. The journey took her back to the roots of early electronic music: old-school electro and futuristic sounds inspired by the 1970s, with clear references to pioneers like Kraftwerk.
