The story behind Kosheen's "Hide U" by Sian Evans | Muzikxpress 166

Subscribe ► / muzikxpress
Sian Evans is a Welsh singer / songwriter who already started her love for music at an early age. At the end of the 90s she met up with Mark Morrison and Darren Beale and they formed the act Kosheen. In 1999 the first Kosheen track “Yes Men” got released via Breakbeat Culture Records.
But the big breakthrough for Kosheen came 1 year later in the year 2000, when they released the track “Hide U”. It became a Top 10 hit in lots of different countries and besides a club hit, it was a popular track on radio as well. In the UK “Hide U” became the best Best Single at the Drum & Bass Awards in the year 2001.
After the release of “Hide U”, Kosheen had several other hits with tracks such as “Catch”, “Slip & Slide (Suicide)”, “Hungry” and “All In My Head” for example.
Besides her work with Kosheen, Sian did lots of collaborations with people such as Roger Shah, Paul Hazendonk, Jody Wisternoff, Chicane and perhaps her most known track is “Louder”, for which she worked together with DJ Fresh. In July 2011 “Louder” came out via Ministry Of Sound and it debuted at the number 1 position of the UK Singles Chart, the UK Dance Chart, the UK Indie Chart and also in the Scottish Charts.
Kosheen officially disbanded in 2016, but Sian remains the frontwoman, singer and songwriter of Kosheen and they're still active with touring. Right before their last show from their Dutch tour, I sat down with Sian to ask her about the story behind “Hide U” and more.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!
Sorry that the main camera is out of focus, we did check everything just before the interview started and it was all fine. Guess I did hit the camera lens slightly just before I did press record :(
