Kosheen achieved international success with their debut single Hide U, which reached #6 in UK official chart. Their debut album "Resist" (released in 2001), a powerful mixture of drum'n'bass, trip-hop, chillout, hip-hop-inspired beats and traditional singer-songwriter production, was warmly accepted by both critics and audience and later went "platinum" in the UK.
With their second LP "Kokopelli", Kosheen changed their music style and turned to more rock-oriented tunes mixed with electronica & trip-hop. The first single from the album, "All In My Head", became a huge hit, reached #7 in UK chart and the album went "gold".
Kosheen are also known for their classy gigs, gathering thousands of people from all over the world. The band's live sound is slighty different from their studio production. They have just finished a successful UK tour and are performing throughout Europe to December 07. Live they are augmented by Mitch Glover on live drums and Gary Eccles on keys (on session)
Sian was involved in some side projects, including collaborations with Bent (tracks "I Can’t Believe It’s Over" and "Sunday Boy" on Bent’s cd "Ariels") and Cajun jazz band Root Doctors. Her vocals can also be heard on Decoder’s composition “Defenseless” (off his “Dissection” album), recorded before Kosheen was formed.
The band's third album "Damage" was released in the UK on Moksha on 10th September 2007. Damage is a mixture of inspirations from electronic influence from "Resist" and guitar tunes from "Kokopelli". The sound of "Damage" mixes elements of dark electro, synthpop, downtempo, vocal, electronica.
Kosheen has announced a new release for February 2012 called: Independence. Samples & full versions of tracks (Waste, Belladonna) appearing on this can be found @ Soundcloud.

Not Enough Love
Kosheen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Say it, play it tough
Rough and ready, when you're thrown into touch
There's never enough love for anybody
Not enough, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Not enough love
Not enough love
Not enough love, not enough love
There's not enough, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Now it's down to us, not to rush
Not to push it's fragile, carefully
We fall into line, children first
When it gets to us, there just isn't any
Not enough love, enough love
Enough thought for anybody
Tight as a drum
Sharp as they come
There's not enough love for anybody
Not enough love
Not enough love
The song "Not Enough Love" by Kosheen explores the theme of love and its scarcity in the world. The lyrics suggest that there is not enough love, enough thought, or care for anyone. Every person is fighting to survive in their tough lives, and there's not enough love for anyone to spare. The song paints a picture of a society where people have grown tired of trying to love, and feelings of cynicism and hopelessness have taken over. The phrase "tight as a drum, sharp as they come" is a metaphor for the emotional barriers people build to protect themselves from emotional pain, and it is these barriers that prevent them from feeling and experiencing love.
The second verse of the song talks about how love is so scarce that we must be careful not to rush it, push it, or take it for granted. The lyrics suggest that we must be delicate with love because it is fragile, and we must prioritize it. However, when it comes to us, we find that there is no love left. The phrase "children first" means that the young and innocent should be given love over anyone else, but even they may not be getting enough.
Overall, "Not Enough Love" is a haunting song that reflects the sad reality of our world where love is scarce, and emotional detachment is prevalent. It is a call to action for people to break down their emotional barriers and to make love and compassion a priority.

У меня закрылся интересный гештальт, который я боялась никогда не закрыть. Лет 15-16 назад я на тусовке услышала песню, в которую я влюбилась из-за очень оригинальной минорной гармонии. Диджей обещал мне её прислать, но на следующий день забыл, о какой песне шла речь. Через много лет он мне писал, но песню всё ещё не помнил. И я больше ни разу её не слышала, но не забыла. Позже появился шазам, но шазамить свою память всё ещё невозможно. Оставалась одна надежда. Что я её кому-то напою, и человек узнает эту песню. Но мне не везло. И тут мне рассказали, что гугл приложение способно распознавать песню, если ему её напеть. Господи, спасибо тебе за эту возможность, а ещё спасибо за мой слух и музыкальную память 🤣. Тому, кто создал такую возможность, низкий поклон. Счастье в мелочах.

It's one of those songs that never stop to make you feel the same as you felt the first time you listened to them.
