British pop artist Kuill has recently announced his new release, a rendition of the ’90s classic “Sleeping Satellite” by Tasmin Archer, which will be released on March 7th, 2025. As a pop singer and songwriter on the rise, Kuill has a knack for blending modern sounds with hints of the past, and his take on this classic hit is a perfect example.
“Sleeping Satellite” by Tasmin Archer was a number-one hit in several countries after its release in 1992, and it’s still going strong all these years later! The original track stands out for its mellow, almost sombre quality, built on an acoustic arrangement with new-age synths and groove-driven drums. Its gentle mood and clear rhythm touched the hearts of many listeners at the time and continue to do so today.
Kuill‘s version, on the other hand, has a brighter, punchier sound. The cover retains the heart of the original while adding the artist’s distinctive twist to the mix. In this rendition, a catchy staccato electric guitar provides extra rhythm and vibe, balanced by atmospheric suspended piano chords and electronic textures that fill the sound space. The electronic drums carry a contemporary R&B vibe, perfectly matching the overall arrangement and lending the song a dreamy, ethereal mood while maintaining rhythm and punch.
Kuill’s vocal performance is full of emotion, showcasing a wide range of tones that display his mastery and control. At times, his vocal style is reminiscent of artists like KD Lang or Mick Hucknall. At other moments, his vocal flow could appeal to fans of top-charting performers such as Ed Sheeran or Maroon 5. The production is top-notch, not only highlighting the artist’s dynamic singing ability but also adding depth and power to the instrumental, perfectly conveying the emotion that drives the song. Instead of simply mimicking the original, Kuill offers a personal and original take, adding to the legacy of this wonderful track rather than replicating it verbatim.
“Sleeping Satellite” is an incredible way for Kuill to welcome the new year, especially after such an impressive run in 2024. He appeared on “The Voice UK 2024″, where he was mentored by the iconic Tom Jones. He also supported Russell Crowe‘s “Indoor Garden Party” and had the honor of performing “God Save The King” at Twickenham Stadium, London, for King Charles during the England vs. South Africa rugby match—an unforgettable moment in front of a crowd of 80,000.
His album “Fragile Creatures” continues to make waves, climbing high on the iTunes charts and achieving an impressive 31st place on the Official UK Album Charts—a phenomenal accomplishment for an independent artist like Kuill.
The upcoming release of “Sleeping Satellite” feels like another significant step forward for Kuill, who plans to continue releasing high-quality music and bringing his songs and renditions to live audiences. He recently performed at an exclusive Press Night in Leeds, England, where high-quality audio and video captured his setlist, featuring some of his best songs and more.
“Sleeping Satellite” will be available on streaming services on March 7th, 2025. In the meantime, fans can discover more of Kuill’s music on Spotify, Apple Music, and other platforms. PRE-SAVE NOW
