First conceived in December 2011, the Koven project was sparked into life with the ‘Wake You Up EP’. Instantly making an impact across the scene, Koven’s very first release saw support from some of the most influential tastemakers of the time, including UKF and Inspector Dubplate, Ministry Of Sound, Radio 1, XFM and more.
After making a name for themselves with the free 'Wake You Up EP' and remix work, in March 2013 the time had come for Koven to drop what was unbelievably their debut release. Released on Futurebound's Viper Recordings, an outlet renowned for its ability to find new talent, 'More Than You' announced Koven as a new, formidable force on the EDM radar. A blend of melody, contorting bass and the unforgettable vocals of Kate Ashton, 'More Than You' solidified Koven's style, earning them even more new fans and over 1.5 million views in the process. The single featured remixes from Drum and Bass dancefloor kings DC Breaks and support from Radio 1's Zane Lowe, 'More Than You' began the next phase of Koven's rise in the dance music scene.
Whilst completing remix duties Koven also worked with Ministry Of Sound producing a track for Hadoukens album and Nissan's collaborative project 'The Nissan Juke Box'.
Final Call
Koven. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For things to get better
Frozen
I can′t breathe at all
Like a ghost with no soul
Like a heart with no beat
You're claiming controlUnable to see
You′re like a demon in the dark
Like a force with no release
You're claiming control
By always telling me
I'm too broken to be fixed
I′m too numb to feel the pain
Too blind to see the truth
I′m too weak to walk away
But I'm finding strength
I′m finding strength
I'm finding strength in the arms of someone else
I′m finding strength
I'm finding strength
I′m finding strength in the arms of someone else
I'm finding strength in the arms of someone else
The lyrics of Koven.'s song "Final Call" convey a sense of desperation in a relationship that has turned toxic. The singer is at the end of their rope and makes a last call for things to get better, but the relationship is frozen in dysfunction. The lyrics compare the partner to a demon, a force with no release, who claims control over the singer's life. The partner makes the singer feel broken, numb, blind, and weak, unable to see the truth, feel the pain, or walk away. The singer finds the strength to leave and move on in the arms of someone else.
