An impactful debut single from Paris-based artist PopNorse, “Love like a Tide” pairs chilling vocal emotion with synth-forward atmospherics. Touting a strong production that excels in its dynamics between calm introspection and rhythmic intensifying, the release was recorded between Luleå, Stockholm, and Paris. “Love like a Tide” certainly represents a very strong debut for the project.
“Love like a Tide” quickly establishes a stirring soundscape. “My heart belongs to only you,” a heartfelt, spacious vocal presence lets out amidst a buzzing bass and synth pad intrigue. Glistening synth arps intensify with subtle entrancement thereafter, while the vocals maintain a lush captivation. Pulsing rhythms and effervescent synths compel past the mid-point, and into a second half that also succeeds in its traversal from spacey serenity into brisker synth-pop emotion. “Love like a Tide” is a moving success from PopNorse.
