Also known as Eric Gorlow, KOTTA is an American singer-songwriter, actor, writer, and director.
The third single from the artist was recorded and produced in Los Angeles by Raz Kinghoffer
('Insatiable', 'Lucifer', 'Shades of Blue', 'Shadowhunters', 'Almost Family', 'The Rookie', etc).
Inspired by bands like Beck, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Arctic Monkeys, and Tyler the Creator,
" New Crowned King " has a playful, yet bluesy beat that underscores its eclectic,
ambiguous lyrics.
“The song was stuck in my head for months - back in December of last year, every time I
was driving somewhere alone this song kept pushing itself into my subconscious.
In fact most of the song was written, driving around the empty streets (never that empty in
LA), in the middle of the night. It had a very stranded feeling, as you can see in the music
video. King of the empty dark streets.” –Kotta
Watch "New Crowned King" Music Video by Kotta :
Kotta's music video, directed by him, shows a man who wakes up in the desert, wearing a
crown, with no memory of how he got there. As the sun blazes, he scrambles for relief and protects his crown from strange otherworldly visitors...
“The music video was shot in an unknown desert that no human can get to without
interstellar help. It questions the relativity of desired power.” –Kotta
