An entrancing electronic soundscape that’s loaded with layers, NÆLDE’s ‘Who do I owe my smile’ has you bewitched and hypnotized by its delectable production. It’s futuristic and slightly metallic in style, but it’s also characterised by shimmering synth work that makes it feel so embellished that it’s empowering as well. Of course, that’s not without cause. The track is itself about not wanting to put on a perfomance/mask simply to please others. Written for her younger sister, it’s about letting people know that they don’t owe anyone anything when it comes to prioritising their own mental wellbeing and happiness.
In many ways, it’s a fairly pitch perfect tune to unwind to after a rough week personally allowing you to express yourself through dance and song in pure revel.
