Soft and effervescent, Vanda’s ‘ Sunday Shroom’ is just like a cloud of colorful melodies, syrupy indie pop, and good vibes. An outstanding stunner for the fast-approaching beach season.
Based in Los Angeles, Vanda is a singer, songwriter, and producer whose mesmerizing blend of indie and alt pop garnered her millions of streams across platforms, and listening to Vanda’s latest single ‘Sunday Shroom’, how tightly composed, well envisioned, and superbly crafted it is, it becomes immediately clear that Vanda deserves every single ounce of attention she’s receiving.
This stunning cut is a medium-paced piece of indie pop that is tethered between ethereal atmospheres and a strongly earthy flavor. With the vast width introduced by the luscious pads, and the shoebox intimacy encountered via the vivid acoustic strums Vanda carefully sets the tone for a song that equally exists in two distant realms. Vanda’s voice is also divided between low and deliberate lulls on the verses, and the impassioned and impactful chorus yells, displaying stunning range and terrific control.
Perhaps most noteworthy on ‘Sunday Shroom’ is the arresting production job, giving this song its fair share of RnB, soul, and psychedelia via its punchy beat, gospel-like chord movements, and swirling textures, respectively. This is a mix that effortlessly elevates an already beautifully crafted pop song into the realms of outstanding pop cuts that have endless potential to last for years. A dazzling return by the gifted queer artist Vanda.
