The New Wave is a feature we’ll be presenting every Tuesday. It will highlight one song we’re currently obsessed with, by a new or rising artist.
What we say:
Scandinavia does it again, and this time it’s music from Norway that has us under its spell. Smerz, the duo of Henriette and Catharina, conjure up pop with a dark twist on the eminently danceable “Because.” Gentle, hypnotic vocals glide above a bass-heavy loop, the influence of club music creeping into this modern song of love and heartbreak.
What they say:
To us, “Because” is about being in your twenties – feeling a bit confused.
