Based out of Helsinki is the rising singer-songwriter Carla Aakre, and just earlier this month saw her release the striking new single, "through". One thing that struck me as soon as I heard this on the first play was how atmospheric it sounded, it's just piano and percussion but my goodness it set me up to be blown away - and spoiler alert, I was.
"through" is pure magic, in every note and every way.
Carla's vocals are one to behold, truly they are, as they're equally moody, soulful, striking and can easily captivate the most casual of listeners. The way the track has been built is that it can easily showcase every element of the single, from the nano-second perfect drums, to the soaring strings and of course her vocals.
The single is lifted off her forthcoming album, "Things I Forgot to Tell You", so if you like where this track is heading we're sure you;ll fall in love with the LP when it drops. So be prepared to get mesmerised and head into Carla Aakre's stunning single before anyone else does, "through" is simply gorgeous in every way.
