  • Swedish singer Elina releases bittersweet ode to moving on with ‘Blue’: Listen

    Elina Stridh, known simply as Elina, is a singer-songwriter based in Stockholm, Sweden. In recent years, the twenty-six-year-old artist solidified her reputation as a songwriter in the industry cowriting for various artists, which resulted in her songwriting catalogue generating over one billion streams. In 2018, Elina debuted as a solo artist with her single ‘Wild Enough’ and has since released an EP and several singles. Her newest single, ‘Blue’, is a perfectly soft Indie-Pop creation.

    ‘Blue’ is a mellow track with sentimental lyrics which describe the bitter-sweet feeling one gets when moving on from a past relationship. The simple acoustic guitar ballad and light piano keys add a sense of emotional vulnerability behind Elina’s delicate vocals. Although this track is a bit more downtempo compared to her previous releases, the track is a buttery soft hit.

  • Premiere: Canada’s rising singer-songwriter Myles Castello shares visualiser for ‘Blue’

    In a cheeky way to promote his new single, Myles Castello shares the official visualiser for ‘Blue’. Throughout the video, the artist reveals how his life has been affected by COVID-19, making life difficult to manage. From the strain on relationships to furloughs and the closure of small business, we are all affected. Castello shows he’s human and relatable. Not letting a global pandemic stop him from getting work done, he multitasks between conversation with his manager, creative team, and his girlfriend. It is those types of skills that will take anyone further along.

    After he purchases pizza for the love of his life, he heads to social media to promote his new single.
