Emma Elizabeth is a Swedish singer and multi-instrumentalist who writes songs and produces them herself. Her indie sound is somewhere between folk rock, post-punk, and American music, but it doesn’t feel like copying anything familiar. What I like about her tracks is they’re simultaneously very sincere and professionally crafted. The instruments sound light, and the lyrics are kind of spring-like, I guess. It hooks you literally from the first seconds. The new single “Swan Song” is a great example of what I mean.
Picture typical Scandinavian weather, gray rainy clouds, but the sun breaks through them. That’s roughly how the song sounds: there’s melancholy, but it’s sweet, dreamy. The song is about wanting promises to be eternal and actually come true, about the desire for perfect love that won’t end. It’s that feeling of a frozen moment, when everything around seems important and real, and you think “if only this could stay forever.”
