London-born, Sri Lankan singer, pianist, songwriter and producer Pokkisham has appeared on our blog a couple of times now and I’m starting to get excited every time I see she has a new track out. Her latest explores the decision she made some time ago to give up her corporate job and focus on music full-time. It’s called Cages.

The “cage” in the song’s title refers to the mental and societal boxes we all find ourselves in, and encourages us to rid ourselves of them, no matter how daunting a prospect that may be. As ever, the message is delivered through the dreamy jazz and soul we’ve now grown accustomed to from Pokkisham, and as a listener, you can’t help but feel inspired.
Cages is the fourth single to be released from Pokkisham’s upcoming debut EP, due out this year. You can give the single a listen below.
