Swedish indie pop artist Sarah von Reis unveils her latest single, “Solitude,” released on October 4, 2024, under Reef Road Records. The track is the third release from her upcoming debut album and nudges into the introverted love and need for personal space.
Produced by Michelle Amkoff, “Solitude” thrives with shimmering atmospherics and a backdrop of fat, tapping electronic beats producing a soft, pulsing momentum, immediately creating an ethereal, almost dreamlike soundscape. The country-flavored slide guitars add a unique layer of warmth, blending seamlessly with the modern electronic beats. Sarah’s high, ghostly, sultry vocals deliver a soulful, eerie, and soulful performance with utmost delicacy. Her voice carries an otherworldly lullaby effect, drawing listeners into her introspective world. The bridge ups the mood with a reverbed soft, delicate voice—hauntingly sounds like Annabelle—and a rhyming verse that dynamizes the song while maintaining the gossamer-like delicacy.
The song evokes feelings of longing for isolation, as it reflects on the need for alone time to cope with the emotional overwhelm of social interactions.
Sarah reflects on her own experiences as a self-described “lone wolf” or HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), finding solace in moments of solitude amid the overstimulation of social gatherings. The lyrics resonate with fellow introverts who can appreciate the balance between socializing and the quiet comfort of being alone.
Drawing influences from Fiona Apple and Billie Eilish, “Solitude” has a haunting, atmospheric feel that is both introspective and hypnotic. Check out the latest single of Sarah von Reis on Spotify.
