Sherwøød’s ”Dopamine": A Haunting Reflection on Modern Escapism

London-based artist Sherwøød is carving a distinct space in the music scene with his latest single, "Dopamine." Following the success of his previous release, "Pride," this new track dives deep into the cycles of escapism, self-doubt, and the pressures of modern digital existence. With a fusion of hip-hop, indie electronica, and alternative influences, Sherwøød’s unique sound continues to captivate listeners, solidifying his place as a rising force in the UK music scene.

“Dopamine” is an introspective look at how social media and societal pressures fuel an endless loop of distraction and self-resentment. Sherwøød’s haunting melodies and layered production create a dreamlike atmosphere, pulling listeners into his world of frustration and longing. His ethereal vocal delivery paired with intricate synth textures reflects the song’s theme, a struggle between reality and the curated perfection of the digital age.

His words cut deep: “Dopamine’ is a look at the cycle of resenting yourself for wasting time, which in turn only leads to further escapism and procrastination through the false reality of social media.” This raw honesty is what makes Sherwøød’s music resonate with so many. Produced in collaboration with five-time gold record producer Joseph E-Shine. Influences from VITA, Jai Paul, James Blake, Labrinth, and The Weeknd. Recently performed at The Hoxton Underbelly and quarter-finalist for The Isle of Wight Festival’s New Blood competition.

Sherwøød’s live performances are magnetic, and his growing presence in the UK music circuit proves he is an artist to watch. With a self-titled EP on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a breakthrough year for this rising talent.
