SJÖBLOM - Fly Away With Me

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    15 mei 2024

Mixing pop sensibilities with shades of Britpop nostalgia, this track offers a fresh perspective on the band's evolving sound. With their upcoming album, "Dead of Night," on the horizon, Johan and Robert invite listeners into a world of dark, emotive melodies, and captivating storytelling. Keep an eye out for their live performances, with possible plans including Germany, as they bring their music to life on stage.


Next to the comments on top I can say that the vocals really sound great, just as the melodic side. I think this song might even get a sing-a-long-momentum once perfoermed live on stage. Give it some time to get inside your head!

"Fly Away with Me" includes amazing remixes by Mark Hockings (Mesh / blackcarburning): not my favorite remix as somehow it takes away the most charming parts of the song (adds more electronics to it) and Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson) changing it into a more Massive Attack minded track.

To be honest: the original is so strong that the remixes are weaker and less appealing to me. So strong kuddos to the original version (as the remixes are not done by unknown people)! Looking forward to hear the rest of the upcoming album!
