Scandinavian entertainment veteran, the Finnish with a Swedish name Lotta Svartsjö returns with a single of sweet innocence, gentle melodies, soothing rhythms, and a beautiful meaning behind the vulnerable, intimate delivery.
Based in the Finnish Turku, Lotta Svart is a musician with 25 years of experience under her belt. She has an extensive resume that includes stage, television, and theater, and works as a sought-after studio singer. ‘Fenn fem fel’, her latest release, means finding five errors in her native Swedish tongue, which she decided to fully embrace for her recent endeavors into the spotlight as a solo artist. The single sees Lotta employ gentle and warm pop antics to deliver a song that’s just lovely.
From the song’s moderate, chill tempo, the compressed, minimal, electronic beats, and the fluttering atmospherics that take the shape of ethereal slivers of voice, piano droplets, and the occasional swelling and grandiose pad, Lotta Svart has been quite successful in weaving an entrancing vibe. This first release from the artist’s upcoming EP speaks of a story of a relationship that is going downhill as both parties fail to appreciate the good in each other, resorting only to negativity and fatal disappointment, and the subsequent aftermath of the corroded relationship.
‘Finn fem fel’, sung in the intoxicatingly gentle -yet somehow stormy- Swedish is a most welcome first taste and a teaser from an EP that will undoubtedly be worth a spin. Lotta Svart effortlessly displays how she managed to keep herself in the business for two and a half decades with a delightfully atmospheric piece of gentle, friendly pop that is passionately delivered, and masterfully calculated.
