With so much 'wobbly bass' seemingly plastered over every dub-step inspired pop track in the charts right now, it's nice to see some quirky electronics applied to something more chilled out and reflective for a change.
Beatrice Eli's gorgeous, glacial debut single The Conqueror is every bit as epic as its title - from small, ice-pick verses it explodes outwards into a towering snowy-peaked mountain of a thing in its choruses. Crossing its cold-edged synths with some beautifully love-lorn lyrics, The Conqueror feels like the epitome of every tear-stained relationship woe combined into one.
I mean, is there anything more pleadingly heartaching than the line: 'Kiss me like you would bring life back to me'? For the Scandinavian pop princess, that line is the limits of the world, the feelings and emotions that become all-consuming in their intensity.
Speaking of the track, Beatrice explains: 'I wrote it from seeing people –and being in a situation myself where you find yourself loving the other person’'s love more than being in love'.
The Conqueror is released on the 16th January.
