Niki & The Dove Unveil Their Second New Single “You Want The Sun”
In February, I wrote about Niki & The Dove and their fantastic first single “So Much It Hurts”, which is still in my opinion, one of the best Electro Pop songs of 2016. Then, a few days ago, the Swedish duo uploaded on Youtube a new music video for their second single titled “You Want The Sun”. This Nintendo-inspired clip looks pretty good! An eye-catching 8-bit visual you must watch now!
With vocals that are radio-friendly and lyrics that everyone can relate to, Eva Spanko will capture your attention. “What Are We Now?” is a brand-new Electro-Pop track that encourages you to think about your love relationship.
Of course, she excels not only in singing but also in her ability to write powerful songs. The title itself, “What Are We Now?” implies uncertainty and a desire for clarity, which is something pretty common when you’re dating someone you really like. And sometimes this type of situation goes beyond a platonic relationship.
Personally, I admire her creativity in producing such an excellent composition that you can dance to and sing along with, especially during moments of introspection.
Unlike traditional poppy anthems that often celebrate the joys and excitement of being enamored, reflective love songs delve into the complexities, and bittersweet aspects of connections.
Without a doubt, “What Are We Now?” could be a perfect example of this subgenre of romantic songs. And that’s exactly the magic of music because there’s always a tune that can beautifully interpret the myriad emotions and experiences that love brings.
In addition, the music video showcases a simple and intimate choreography that explains it all.

Experience a wave of nostalgia as The Last Concorde and The Lightning Kids bring retro sounds to the table in their excellent collaboration “Back To You.” Let Emma Ballantine’s talented voice seduce your ears!
One way or another, “Back To You” takes listeners on a journey through the intricacies of unrequited love, beautifully encapsulating the essence of sun-soaked days and endless nights beneath the starry skies of 1980s California.
Nevertheless, in the official music video, the central characters of this tune find themselves amidst arcade machines on a set. Do you remember playing Pacman and Space Invaders back in your youth?
Perhaps, they are not as famous as Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus, but when you compose high-quality songs that doesn’t matter at all. Often, good artist are the ones who truly shine thanks to their craftsmanship and passion, regardless of how well-known they are.
Indeed, “Back To You” is like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. If you’re someone who can’t resist the allure of retro-infused melodies, just like me, then you’re in for an absolute musical treat with this specific track.
In conclusion, there’s nothing better than listening to vintage synthesizers and well-written lyrics on an ongoing basis.
