“Shampoo” is a track written out of pure frustration, much like my earlier releases Anger Management and Managed Anger. It’s about scents and how they can affect mood and desire – sometimes in ways that feel intrusive or even disturbing. The whole idea started when my partner bought a cedar-scented shampoo. That smell completely messed with my head and even kept me awake an entire night. It was such a strong and strange experience that I turned it into music.
The song was released on SoundCloud on 3 September 2025 (that’s the export date of the wav-file), and a slightly extended Tech House edit followed two days later, since I realized that the original edit could’ve been longer. On SoundCloud, it is described how the shampoo’s smell overwhelmed me, and on Facebook, I noted as a joke (since I just recently released a bunch of ballades) that it wasn’t “just a ballade” but still something – reminding me “a little bit too much” of Jessica, my partner.
