Interview: Kovic talks latest single Wake Up Tomorrow and more!

Kovic has released his latest ‘Wake Up Tomorrow’ last month. The huge electronic-laced pop ballad carries an important message reflecting the damaging ramifications of the pandemic and has been written in dedication to key workers.

The weight that has been bared on mental health over the past year has been experienced first hand by the singer, who has been supporting his junior doctor partner during these times.

Fiercely independent, Kovic has been releasing music under his own label, which launched in 2017 with his debut single ‘Wires’. The track proved a tearaway success and became a major hit with Radio 1 leading them to invite Kovic to play their BBC Introducing showcase at London’s Royal Albert Hall that year. 

Kovic released his debut album Running Underwater in 2018 which saw him further develop a fervent fanbase, particularly in the UK and Europe, displayed in his sold out headline shows, multi-million streams and his dedicated group of Patreons. 

The album spawned the breakout single ‘Drown’, which was selected to feature on the FIFA 18 soundtrack and has since gone on to clock up over nine million streams on Spotify alone, while the official video has achieved over 2.8 million views.

Kovic has achieved well over 18 million streams across his songs on Spotify. His last release captured his largest headline show to date in a live album recorded at London’s Islington Assembly Hall in 2019. 

In 2021, Kovic is gearing up to release a brand new album and his fanbase have proved a constant source of inspiration and direction for this. Kovic invites his Patreons to offer A&R input and give decisions on votes on demos, artwork creation, merch and feedback on audio mixes, which he proves to be a huge success.

‘Wake Up Tomorrow’ is an exciting first taste of what’s to come from the singer and his new album this year.
