about

COP International presents the third single from Blackcarburning "Divide Us".

The single features Mari Kattman on vocals and was the first song written for the album. The track was originally an instrumental and I asked Mari if she would replace some vocal samples that I'd found somewhere.

The results hinted at something bigger and better and we started throwing ideas and vocals back and forth. I'd already done a track with Mari for Mesh and the results were staggeringly good so I was confident. I wasn't wrong, and. "Divide Us" was the catalyst that started the whole Blackcarburning project. I really can't thank her enough for her talent, open mindedness and work ethic.

Mari Kattman is signed to COP International and releases are in the pipeline as I write this.

"Divide Us" is packaged with three new tracks that will not appear on the album. "Hive" features additional vocals by Neil Francis who, again, has been the bedrock of this project and my thanks go to him and the talent and enthusiasm that he brings.

Thanks to John Fryer for the skill and experience he brings to the work and putting up with my last minute changes.

As always, I'll leave Christian Petke of COP International with the final word!

Mark.

"The Title track "Divide Us" is a fantastic collaboration with Mari Kattman. Together they've created an intimate, exciting, and uplifting pop gem. John Fryer's impeccable production gives "Divide Us" the shimmering glamour that makes you want to hit the repeat button time and time again."

lyrics

Everything is changing
You'll have to see it through
You're older than you think you are
And more lost than you knew
No one's going to help you
Because no one has the time
You can't explain it
But there's no space left in your mind

Both sides can't make it
Do what you can to survive
Don't turn your back on the hive
Because the drones will never let you
Because the drones will come and get you
Because the drones will come and get you

The World is re-arranging
You're in a brave new land
Where no one really matters
We're footprints in the sand
You'll need to be a monster
Or you'll just disappear
So 'add to basket'
Because no one's leaving here

Both sides can't make it
Do what you can to survive
Don't turn your back on the hive
Because the drones will never let you
Because the drones will come and get you
Because the drones will come and get you

Don't wait, it won't get easier with time
Just makes it further to climb
Just hit 'return' on the line

Both sides can't make it
Do what you can to survive
Don't turn your back on the hive
Because the drones will never let you

Don't wait, it won't get easier with time
Don't wait, Just hit 'return' on the line
