One of the most reliable sources of quality music from Sweden is Von der Burg productions, the team behind September as well as the creators of countless other brilliant songs (including, probably most relevantly for today's post, the songs that launched Danny's career). It's no surprise, then, that I've been very excited about the debut single from former Idol contestant Gathania. While we wait for September to finally give us some new material, Gathania, via the Von der Burg team, has delivered her first single (for a short time only, as usual), a catchy dance-pop song that starts off as a piano ballad but then smoothly progresses into more dance territory while still keeping its lovely melodicness. Sung to a cheating (ex-)partner as Gathania vows that "now I'm gonna make you cry," the song, even in its more uptempo moments, stays away from overpowering hard dance beats, keeping those beats backgrounded to a certain degree (except in moments of vocal pause) and instead using them to simply keep the song interesting and moving forward (as well as to allow us all to dance). It's as good as we'd expect from this team, though where it'll ultimately rank in terms of their back catalogue is too early to determine; let's hope it's a sign of good things to come from the album, whenever it's available, though.I have absolutely no idea when this song is going to be made commercially available (it will be, though), but until then, you can visit Gathania's management page.
Next up: maybe that British pop-rock.
