The track is the acclaimed artist’s first release of 2022.
Lauded Norwegian alt-pop artist Sval has been earning acclaim as a songwriter and artist for years now, despite still being only 23 years old. The artist has amassed tens of millions of streams and earned an ardent following thanks to her thoughtful and catchy sound.
The latest release from the artist is her explosive new single ‘GRENADE’, an alt-pop riot of a track that showcases the artist at her most straight-forward and dynamic. Everything here from the artist’s forthright approach, to her engaging, energetic vocals, to the slick and polished nature of the sound brims with modern appeal and continues to highlight exactly what makes Sval feel so unique and special.
Speaking about ‘GRENADE’, she said, “I had so much fun creating “GRENADE”. It was the type of session where we just played around and did what felt natural. Sometimes I tend to make lyrics more complicated than they need to be, but on this track I wanted to keep the message clear.
“To me, ‘GRENADE’ is a self destructive and liberating song at the same time. It’s about embracing sadness and anger, and even though the song has a sad tone it’s something beautiful about owning those feelings completely.”
“Whenever I’m feeling sad, as long as I get to sit with those feelings for a while, I’m fine. The song has a certain kind of loneliness attached to it, thoughts of others not understanding your feelings. Hopefully people can release to that.”
