The Black Celebration – Shout It Out

The Black Celebration from Sweden have done it again, and this time with their latest track 'Shout It Out' from the 5‑track EP of the same name. After I was already thrilled by 'Damn, This Soul' in March this year, I had high expect­a­tions for this track. And I was not disappointed.

'Shout It Out' takes us on a jour­ney into the dark depths of synth pop. The 90s sound­ing synths give the song a nos­tal­gic feel, while the elec­tron­ic ele­ments infuse it with a dis­tinct­ive indus­tri­al vibe. I'm a little reminded of the B‑sides from the "Depeche Mode" era between "Violator" and "Songs Of Faith And Devotion". The com­bin­a­tion of these ele­ments cre­ates a unique, ener­get­ic vibe that draws you in.

What I like about 'The Black Celebration' is its pro­gres­sion in an even gloom­i­er and dark­er wave dir­ec­tion. 'Shout It Out' shows that they are not fol­low­ing well-worn paths, but are will­ing to explore new son­ic hori­zons. This song is part of our Spotify playl­ist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2023‘. The playl­ist is updated con­tinu­ously. Follow this playl­ist now and don’t miss any of the latest synth pop hits in 2023.

Lyrics of 'The Black Celebration – Shout It Out'

You stumble down the backstreet
you hide in the shadows
you look your­self up in the dark
you liv­ing in the past
you covered in dust
I see the death of an old man’s heart

Shout it out now
I shout it out your body and mind ain’t free
I shout it out now
shout it out time to run from this misery

Too many secrets flood­ing this room
must be hard to keep your soul dry
I feel the anxi­ety and this dark­ness around you
while your heart sinks to the bot­tom to die

Shout it out now
I shout it out your body and mind ain’t free
I shout it out now
shout it out time to run from this misery
Alt verse.
Set your body and mind free
find the light in you
time to run from this misery
find the light in you

Shout it out
Help me out
Down and out
The light is out
The doom has come there’s no spark
You fade away into the dark

Shout it out now
I shout it out your body and mind ain’t free
I shout it out now
shout it out time to run from this misery

The Black Celebration about 'Shout It Out'

The tracks and the lyr­ics was made in my home stu­dio, no wait­ing for inspir­a­tion, just hard work and shots of jae­ger to pull this through. When the songs was baked and ready my ghost vocal­ists stepped in to help me out with the vocals. The songs are about bad habits and social exclusion.
