‘Choose Well’ by Marina & The Kats, Echo Me, welovemelodies
Over the past few weeks, we’ve introduced some fantastic collaborations between different artists, and I’m excited to say we’ve stumbled upon another wonderful combination. Austria meets Denmark, vintage vibes blend with singer-songwriter indie swing pop. But what matters most: what’s the name of the song, and who’s behind it?
In the soothing tones of ‘Choose Well,’ two worlds come together seamlessly.
Marina & The Kats, the up-and-coming indie swing band from Vienna, and Echo Me, the solo project of Danish singer-songwriter Jesper Madsen, have pooled their creative energies to craft this unique track.Authenticity meets vintage flair: When you listen to ‘Choose Well,’ you feel the artists’ souls intertwining. Their vocals flow as if they’ve been making music together for decades. The opening notes are already magnificent, and you might expect the iconic line 'Let me take you down, ‘cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields…’ to follow, a nostalgic touch that transports us to another era.
However, it takes a different turn. One of the best intros in pop music (‘Strawberry Field Forever’), in my opinion, serves merely as inspiration leading us to authenticity. Note by note, it ventures into indie power pop with subtle swing nuances, meeting singer-songwriter vibes. As a result, ‘Choose Well’ not only bridges the musical gap between Denmark and Austria but also between the '60s and the present.
Along this musical journey, modern influences shape the song, which serves as a reminder to choose wisely in life and love. A soundtrack for moments of reflection and focusing on what truly matters. And what matters right now, as you read this post, is, of course, listening to the song.
Behind it all is welovemelodies, a group of songwriters, music producers, and artists dedicated to creating delightful music across various genres (including legendary writing camps). Completed songs are released as soon as possible after the sessions to preserve their authentic and genuine atmosphere.
A fantastic idea, an outstanding collective, and as evident from ‘Choose Well,’ a wonderful result!
