In Sarah von Reis' latest single, "Solitude," the singer-songwriter celebrates the beauty in loneliness. Most songs about being alone bask in the pain, but not Sarah's. The artist says, "'Solitude' is a hymn dedicated to all my fellow introverts," a message she delivers loud and clear. The track is gorgeous. It's a slow, dreamy ballad with an ethereal soundscape. "Solitude" is like a love letter to enjoying one's own company, and sounds like it. "Solitude" demonstrates Sarah's ability to pen universal topics with her distinct writing voice and stunning musical aesthetic.
Inspired by artists like Billie Eilish and Fiona Apple, Sarah von Reis combines sonic experimentation with lyrical depth to create some of the most mesmerizing indie music now. "Solitude" may sound quieter--but the song leaves a loud impression. Plenty of small sonic details are planted throughout the track, adding a playful, textured sound. Dripped in reverb and a melodic guitar-centric instrumental, Sarah's new single is a catchy earworm with emotional resonance. It is wistful, honest, and endlessly listenable. "Solitude" exemplifies Sarah's strong capabilities in creating evocative music.
Sarah von Reis is not new to the music industry. Previously a part of the massive pop sensation "Dolly Style," Sarah departed from the group after being deemed "too political." As a solo act, the Gothenburg-based artist now focuses on making her voice heard. Sarah uses her platform to speak on her beliefs as an openly queer singer-songwriter, making a name for herself as an inspiration. Her debut EP, "Melancholia High Season," from 2023, sparked massive success, including songs like the titular track and "Only Lovers Left Alive," which accumulatively have over 75,000 streams on Spotify. Within the past year, Sarah released three singles for her upcoming album, with three singles under her belt: "Friend," "Blame it On," and now, "Solitude." And if those songs are any indication, Sarah's debut album won't want to be missed. You can listen to "Solitude," as well as the rest of Sarah's discography, on all streaming services now.
