Haunting folk single “Three Words” comes via singer/songwriter Sabine Colleen, who took inspiration from Selkie folklore and the myth of Echo and Narcissus.
Written while attending a songwriting workshop taught by Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes), “Three Words” meshes passionate vocal versatility with atmospheric fingerstyle guitar and analog tape. Colleen’s vocal power is especially apparent past the three-minute mark, letting out a chilling call that coincides gorgeously with stirring guitar trickles. “Three Words” plays with a ghostly, captivating temptation throughout.
