Big Summer – Dead Royalty – K7

El Genio Equivocado

After a four year hiatus that took Big Summer’s frontman (and only man) Vasco Batista away from his Barcelona home, around the Bay of Biscay and all the way up to Hackney, London, the man is back with the 5-song EP “Dead Royalty”. From the very start, we see the title has been inspired by Vasco’s changed surroundings – palaces, royal gardens and seeing the Queen’s face everywhere. But does ‘royalty’ refer to dead kings and queens or in this case – more harshly – to hopes and dreams?
