SONGER MAKES HIS INDELIBLE RETURN WITH SHAPE-SHIFTING SINGLE “ALIVE”

An unapologetic anthem of imperfection, raw emotion, and staying grounded amid chaos.

After a record-breaking 2024 and globe-spanning tours, British rap sensation Songer kicks off 2025 with his most daring statement yet — the electrifying new single “ALIVE.” This track marks a thrilling new chapter in the journey of one of UK rap’s fastest-rising stars.

“ALIVE” is more than a song — it’s a personal reset, a pressure valve release, and a fearless celebration of flaws. In Songer’s own words, it’s “rebellion without apology, a kick down the door, a refusal to overthink, and clarity in a world that feels off balance.” True to his chameleonic style, “ALIVE” ventures boldly into alternative territory, weaving guitar-driven melodies inspired by the indie bands that shaped his musical DNA.

This release follows an explosive year of growth: with over 140 million streams in 2024 alone, Songer has continued to build a fiercely loyal fanbase through authenticity, versatility, and razor-sharp lyricism. His 2023 album Skala remains critically acclaimed, and last year’s single “Toxic” soared to become the UK’s second best-selling rap single of 2024, spending an impressive eight weeks in the Official Top 40. Alongside this, his collaboration with Birmingham producer K-Motionz, “Vino Bandit,” has amassed over 80 million streams worldwide.

In the last 12 months, Songer has earned gold certification in Australia, along with multiple silver and gold records in the UK — a testament to his unstoppable momentum. He has also secured two coveted BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record in the World premieres with Jack Saunders, further cementing his presence in the UK music scene.

Kicking off 2025, Songer teamed up with household name Aitch on a high-profile collaboration, followed by a sold-out tour across Australia and New Zealand supporting legendary artist Dizzee Rascal.

This summer, fans can catch Songer lighting up Europe’s biggest festivals, including a major debut at Germany’s Splash! Festival, headlining a stage at the UK’s Truck Festival, and making a highly-anticipated return to the Reading & Leeds Main Stage. With every electrifying performance, he continues to solidify his reputation as one of the UK’s most vital and dynamic live acts.

While no new full-length project has been announced yet, “ALIVE” offers a thrilling glimpse into the evolution of an artist who refuses to stand still — fluent across rap, garage, drum & bass, and spoken word, equally at home commanding massive festival crowds or delivering intimate late-night freestyles.

Get ready — Songer is ALIVE, and the next chapter has just begun.
