This latest version takes a more mellow approach this time around with the alluring and seamless vocals of Skofee mingling with Cimo Fränkel’s.‘Where Do You Hide Your Love’ is reimagined as an atmospheric and heart-wrenching alt-pop duet about a love that cannot be captured, and the heartache that results from both parties.
Singer Skofee elaborated on working with Cimo Fränkel: “When I heard Cimo’s original song I was immediately struck by not only his incredible voice, but the lyrics. When I write sadder lyrics, I love tempering them with a “happier” sounding track. That’s one of the things I love most about writing music – combining complicated lyrics with production that makes you want to dance. I felt the original “Where Do You Hide Your Love” had that perfect balance.”
