Sugar - Sleep Token - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Sleep Token released "Sugar" on October 10, 2019 as the ninth track and third single from their debut album Sundowning. Written and performed by the band’s anonymous frontman Vessel, co-produced with George Lever, the song quickly became a fan-favorite and was spotlighted via a visualizer video matching the album’s sunset-release ritual. While "Sugar" didn’t officially chart, it gained major traction on streaming platforms, with over 1.8 million plays and frequent placement in editorial playlists. Musically, the track blends moody R&B and soul tones with alternative metal textures—opening on soft piano chords then layering in pulsating drums, atmospheric synths, and guitar swells. Lyrically, "Sugar" is a seductive exploration of intense attraction and emotional surrender, delivered through Vessel’s velvety yet raw vocal that rides the tension between vulnerability and dominance. Sleep Token balances intimacy and heaviness here, making "Sugar" one of the most emotionally charged and genre-blurring cuts on Sundowning.
