Anastasia Solay – Candlelight

Hailing from Switzerland, Anastasia Solay delivers “Candlelight,” a notable release accompanied by a video, structured like a short film. Solay’s vocals are technically strong, with some really beautiful moments of theatrical tension. The acoustic arrangement, while subtle, creates a trip-hop soundscape, somewhat reminiscent of early European sound – think of Hooverphonic – Mad about you. The songwriting captures a poignant sense of melancholy, a piece for those moments where you just want to sink into something, to find a bit of quiet amongst the chaos.
