Sval is turning into a bit of an icon in the emerging Norwegian alt-pop scene, and has teamed up with Jimi Somewhere to release the exceptional ‘ANGELA’. It’s an emotional, tender track that shifts from its soft, ballad opening into a euphoric pop singalong. Jimi Somewhere’s melodic voice perfectly suits the shimmering guitar loop and effortless pop production present throughout. “It's about meeting someone and falling in love in a place where you know it's temporary,” she explains. “To me, the song feels nostalgic, about someone you don't see anymore, but you still think dearly of.” Keep an eye out for more from Sval in 2023. -Dan Peeke.
