Swedish songstress KIDDO brings us her introduction with the debut single TROUBLE, via Stockholm-based independent label BLNK Music. The release comes after a string of songwriting collaborations with artists such as Alan Walker, Dagny, Soleima, Icona Pop, and fellow BLNK Music artist SHY Martin. On TROUBLE, KIDDO demonstrates her songwriting panache with lyrics inspired by the artist’s early years living in London, written after returning to the cold, dark north of Sweden.
A delicately sparse and sombre piano arrangement forms the framework for the single that sees KIDDO’s stunning voice soar above the instrumentation. Perfectly layered vocals, delivered via lung-busting performance create a powerful and ethereal atmosphere so achingly beautiful you’ll never want it to end.
Commenting on the single, KIDDO has said, “TROUBLE is about escaping reality. It’s about a time when I knew I had lost everything but it was too painful to face it so I tried to ignore the truth for a little longer in every possible way.”
