Above Moi – “I Will Come and Get Us”

/

Stockholm-based artist Above Moi emits a compelling folk-pop appeal on new single “I Will Come and Get Us.” The track comes via the debut album Songs I Might, which plays as a snapshot of the artist’s life — the artist being Emil Andersson, aka Above Moi. A beautiful assortment of piano, guitar, and strings propel alongside Andersson’s riveting vocal presence for a memorable sound — impressing across both piano-set quaintness and soaring pop heights.

A gentle intertwining of piano and acoustic guitars complement a reflective vocal presence. “Look in every wardrobe, every corner, to make sure that we are safe,” the lyrics convey reassurances amidst the warming folk instrumentation. A title-touting refrain arises thereafter, with gorgeous vocal harmonizing moving in between. “We better get…” a vocal momentum arises with twanging guitars and lounge-friendly piano, swelling with string-laden momentum into another stirring “I will come and get us,” entrancement. Above Moi thoroughly impresses with this serenely melodic production.

The track is also featured in the genre-based, best-of Spotify compilation Emerging Indie Rock. Stream the playlist below:
