The track is an encouraging first release from the emerging artist.
Exciting newcomer Daniella Binyamin has established herself and her rousing, likeable indie pop sound on her effortlessly engaging debut release ‘Grand Hotel’.
The track bubbles with a quirky sense of fun and energy, with her affable vocals and introspective lyrics creating a wonderfully unique feel for her burgeoning sound. With roots in both the countryside of Sweden and the vivid cities of the Middle East, Daniella is somebody with a wide range of experiences and cultures to inform her writing, and her debut release is a showcase of the distinctive journey that the artist has had, and the memorable sound that she has formed from it.
As she explains about the song: “The song was written in the aftermath of a break up, when I was trying to make sense of the rollercoaster of my feelings and thoughts. The most natural thing for me when writing music is sitting behind a piano, just playing and singing stuff. It was the same when I wrote Grand Hotel: The piano riff that plays throughout the song was the first part I came up with and that built the foundation for the song. I wanted to capture the feelings I felt while writing it when me and Oskar did the production, and all the elements needed to feel right. I like that there’s both power and fragility there, since that’s exactly how I felt when writing it. That there’s rawness and energy in the drums and playful choirs alongside with the more soft and delicate rhodes-elements and synths.”
