Working alongside Emma Nilsdotter, Mats Dernand’s latest Americana duet on ‘Everybody’ Has a Story is an affable and endearing piece that’s bound to get you in your feelings while just overall brightening up your day. There’s such a powerful pop melody anchoring this piece that’s amplified with such effortless ease through the vocal harmonisation of both the singers. It’s irresistibly catchy, delving into themes of love lost and reconciliation post the fact. The chorus line is particularly a highlight, hearing both Mats and Emma bounce off of each other with different tones and weighted performances that accentuate one another with a sense of togetherness and harmony that’s remarkable.
For anyone who wants an easy listen this weekend to brighten up their day while reminiscing over loves lost and friendships retained, ‘Everybody Has a Story’ will have you delving back into your memories while enjoying the harmonies of two wonderfully talented vocal performances.
