Get ready to rock out with 'Skeleton', the explosive new single from Brisbane's CHRISTOS, Sydney's Imagine the Rapper, and producer Delipres. Released in the closing days of November, this adrenaline-pumping track is a fusion of punk rock and pop-rap, exploring themes of identity, alienation, and the struggle for self-acceptance.
'Skeleton' is a raw and honest expression of the artists' inner turmoil. The lyrics explore into the feeling of being an outsider, yearning for connection in a world that often feels isolating. As the song poignantly puts it, "I hide inside of my thick skin, I turn into a skeleton."
CHRISTOS explains his inspiration for the song: “Most of the time, I don’t feel heard or understood. I don’t feel at home in places where I should. I’ve felt alone for so much of my life—even in my own body. The pressure of expectations weighs heavy, and this song captures my constant search for a place in the world where I truly belong.”
Imagine the Rapper adds his own perspective on the feeling of emptiness: “Sometimes I feel cold, alone, empty—like I’ve given everything to others, leaving nothing for myself. My energy, my drive, even my willpower fades, and all I crave is connection and love. That’s what being a skeleton feels like.”
The track seamlessly blends CHRISTOS's signature punk-inspired sound with Imagine the Rapper's dynamic blend of alt-pop and rap. Delipres's production ties it all together, creating a soundscape that is both energetic and emotionally charged.
Both artists are currently experiencing a surge of creative energy. Imagine the Rapper recently released the single 'Haunted', completed a successful East Coast tour, and is busy working on his debut album, 'Young Hearts and Old Souls', due out in 2025. He's also returning to his punk roots with a renewed passion.
CHRISTOS has been making waves with his electrifying live performances, including a sold-out show in his hometown. With recent singles like 'Yesterday' and 'Tear It Down', he continues to solidify his position as a force to be reckoned with in the Australian alternative music scene.
'Skeleton' is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt lost or alone. Fans of artists like MGK, Oliver Tree, Sueco, and nothing,nowhere. will resonate with this track's blend of intense emotion and infectious energy.
