Oslo-based musician ST.NIKLAS (Niklas Nesset) is back with a relatable and catchy bop to jumpstart the spark fading in a relationship.
“jumpstart” opens with a gentle rumble, a subtle beat that sets the stage for ST.NIKLAS’ intimate vocals. His voice is high and grainy, brimming with sincerity as he confesses the doubts and insecurities that creep in when love feels stagnant.
The lyrics are a poignant reflection on a relationship that’s lost some of its shine, a yearning for the laughter and connection that once burned so brightly. He reminisces about stolen car rides late-night kitchen dancing and the little moments. The chorus pleiads the question that hangs in the air: “Can we ever fall in love again?”
“jumpstart” has an underlying optimism that keeps the message afloat. The rhythmic background of rapping beats teetering underneath the soothing melodies floating above makes this song a relaxing easy listen. You could say this is the musical equivalent of a nudge.
Musically, “jumpstart” is a lesson in simplicity. The focus is on ST.NIKLAS’ voice and his evocative lyrics. The minimal instrumentation allows his story to take center stage. However, the shimmering guitar riff that closes the track adds a touch of excitement, a sonic representation of the spark that ST.NIKLAS desperately wants to reignite.
With over two million streams and a proven track record of sold-out shows, ST.NIKLAS is an artist on the rise. Now’s your turn to coax your flame back to life with “jumpstart” by ST.NIKLAS.
