Swedish-born artist hanna ögonsten recently returned with the focus single Kick Off My Shoes along with her sophomore EP have you seen my mind cause I’ve lost it; The track is a mesmerizing electro pop song which features mesmerizing vocals, dazzling synths and super catchy melodies. It seamlessly blends the Swedish alternative pop tradition with contemporary alternative pop sounds reminiscent of artists such as Charli XCX and BENEE, while the production and sound quality are top-notch, making this a prime example of modern electro pop.
Ögonsten says of the song: “Growing up I listened to a lot of Ben Howard and he has a song that’s called ‘Black Flies’. He says: ‘No man is an island / Of this I know / But can’t you see / Or maybe you were the ocean / When I was just a stone’. I was inspired by this metaphor and wanted to play around with it. I turned it around and came up with the concept of ‘If you were an island, I wouldn’t set my foot there’. It’s kind of goofy taken out of context but I’m really happy with how it turned out.”
