Mesmerizing vocals, dulcet melodies, emotional writing, and bonding with nature are waiting for you in Swedish singer-songwriter and Ivor Novello nominee Elina’s single “Sweet Night.”
“Sweet Night” sounds as gentle as a calm, breezy night with shimmering stars in the sky, and a liberating feel fills the air and finds its way to one’s heart. The sensational, talented artist, Elina, made sure that this soothing sense was conveyed through each element of the heartwarming song. Nevertheless, her soulful vocals take center stage here.
A song has many components, and all of them work together to deliver a certain message or feeling and connect with the listener. So they’re all equally important, but for me, if the vocals are good, then you got my attention. Elina’s vocals aren’t just good; they go beyond perfect. Once she made an entrance, I was like, “Oh yes, this is how a sweet night would sound like.” She can easily charm one with her silky, ethereal voice. “I will fill my lungs with a summer breeze,” she sings, while her voice is both the fresh breeze and warm ray one needs in every season.
The lyrics paint quite a picture of a beautiful summer night, where Elina drew inspiration from summer nights in Sweden. The filled-with-aesthetics lyricism and how Elina portrays them with her harmonic vocal line will make you feel as if you’re sitting there in that exacting setting she’s describing.
The tender guitar textures harmonize very well with Elina’s voice, creating an atmospheric, serene soundscape. I admired how she didn’t exaggerate with the instruments to retain the “sweet night” vibe. As simple as the melody is, it manages to reach the heart’s core and fill it with warmth and peace.
