The Fusion of New Wave Vibes & Fútbol Fervor
In the vibrant intersection of music and fútbol culture, we find a unique artist whose creative rhythm is deeply entwined with the passion of the pitch. Meet Steele FC, a New Wave maestro who just released his new single called “Awake, So Tired”, along with an upcoming album slated for a spring 2024 release, which promises to deliver a sonic experience inspired by the beautiful game.
Steele FC's music is a kaleidoscope of emotions, captured within the New Wave genre.
Describing it as "lighter on the surface, with an undercurrent of tension," his compositions echo the ebb and flow of a fútbol match, mirroring the highs and lows, the jubilation and the anticipation.
The artist shares that his upcoming single, “Awake, So Tired,” is a love song, a personal ode to the enduring connection with his partner, both born and raised in New York. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of their shared history, anchored in a familiar apartment that embodies the essence of their love story.
The visual representation of Steele FC's music finds its home in the jerseys of Arsenal and the complete spectrum of Scotland's national team kits. Whether it's the artistry of the jersey design or the spirit of the teams, these choices embody the essence of his musical creations.
When asked to associate his music with a fútbol player, Steele FC chose Leandro Trossard. Perhaps a nod to the winger's dynamic style and ability to infuse excitement into the game, mirroring the energy found in the beats and melodies of New Wave.
Fútbol is not just a backdrop for his creativity; he is an active participant. He shares, "I often like to write with matches playing on the monitor alongside me." The synergy of music and fútbol is evident as the artist draws inspiration from the intensity and excitement of the game.
