Sølv, highly acclaimed singer, song-writer and producer, has released her new single, ‘Bittersweet’. The release of ‘Bittersweet’, is the first taste of new music from Sølv, for fans, since she released her acclaimed EP, ‘Codeine’, in 2017.
The track, ‘Bittersweet’, premiered with Wonderland Magazine, who said, “The song is an electronic, beat-laden slow banger with a focus on layering, Sølv’s effortlessly cool falsetto existing perfectly over the hyper-digital, percussive instrumental below.”
Speaking about the single, Sølv, said: “‘Bittersweet’ is a reflective look on how personal demons can creep into a relationship. It’s the friction caused by each other’s own struggles, and the dilemma in knowing that the other person is struggling in exactly the same way, but even though you’re coexisting in complete synergy, it doesn’t change the distance created.”
Speaking about how she started making music, the singer, said: “I’ve sung and made up songs ever since I can remember; I’ve always loved it. I started teaching myself to play guitar when I was about 15 and that’s when I properly began writing my own songs, but at that point I didn’t feel a complete connection to the sound or a sense of the music being a reflection of myself like I do now. It wasn’t until I started to teach myself to use music production software a few years later that things started to really click. From that point onward I truly found my sound and where I wanted to go with my music, and I’ve been developing that ever since.”
Now returning with ‘Bittersweet’, Sølv has expanded her production and song-writing deeper, as she continues to craft her own path, with her enticing alt-pop. ‘Bittersweet’ is the first taste of new music following the release of her acclaimed EP, ‘Codeine’, which was released in 2017, and gained strong critical support from the likes of DIY Magazine, Clash and many more. The release of her acclaimed EP, ‘Codeine’, followed the release of her debut EP, ‘Black Ink’, which was released in 2016.
Speaking about what’s next for her, Sølv, said: “I’m excited about everything! So much so that I want to do everything now, all at once. But I guess that’s where I need to slow my mind down from going at 100 mph and just focus on one thing at a time. (That’s one of my downfalls…everything darting around my mind at the same time). I’m particularly excited about developing the live shows and releasing new music that I can’t wait to share, including a collaboration that I’m super excited about. And I’m also looking forward to getting more creative in the ways I portray my music, not just in terms of developing my production but also visually.”
