Get ready to fall head over heels because Velvet Moon is back with their latest indie-pop gem, A Love Song. This track is the next taste of what’s to come from their much-anticipated album, set to be out in 2025, following the release of different singles like Hymn and Daylight, additions to their already rich and quite successful discography, with some of their tracks surpassing a million and even two million streams. The timeless yet somehow fresh sound of the new song is both uplifting for a nice and relaxed listening session and deep and meaningful when paying attention to the lyrics and learning about the inspiration behind it. With features in commercials for brands like Kappahl and Bollinger and memorable moments like their stage at The Great Escape Festival 2024, Velvet Moon is on the right track to stardom.
The Stockholm trio has mastered the art of turning life’s moments, whether good or bad, into deeply personal and evocative songs. Lyricist and vocalist Sandra Bjurman pulls from her own experiences, and on this occasion, the topic of the song is born out of pain and love. A Love Song was written during a trip to Palma, shortly after the loss of a dear friend. It is commendable the effort to give the very personal topic a sense of subjectiveness, where everyone that listens to it can adapt them to their own situations thanks to the universal language used in the lyrics. Producers Stefan Örn and Johan Glössner bring Sandra’s words to life with lush, cinematic soundscapes that take listeners on an emotional journey.
Velvet Moon's latest vibes are influenced by everyone from War on Drugs and Joni Mitchell to the smooth synth-pop sounds of Fleetwood Mac in the '80s, Chappell Roan, The Eurythmics, and Cannons. A Love Song is a throwback to the beloved 80s dance music, evoking also the special sense of nostalgia we feel over that era. "The best ones are taken early. And so were you, Peder. Your wings touched everyone. Your laughter will live within us—siempre” the band shares, and what a beautiful homage this song is. Through music, we live forever.
