Isle of You - 'Ears Ringing'
Swedish best friend duo Isle of You (Ida Johansson and Elina Danielsson) will leave your ‘Ears Ringing’ on sensational synth-pop summer anthem.
’Ears ringing’ is pure sonic indulgence. It’s one of those songs where you can taste the excitement on the tip of your tongue. Thumping bass and pulsating 80s electronics drive the track into dark, edgy territory. Meanwhile, moody yet sweetly mesmerising vocal hooks lead Isle of You's listener into a hypnotic hook-laden trap.
While the track shudders with a sense of underlying anxiety, this soon melts away into a fist-pumping, body-thrashing, adrenaline rush of sounds, ultimately leading to catharsis; a well-needed injection of energy after a lethargic couple of coronavirus-restricted years. ‘Ears Ringing’ perfectly encapsulates the euphoria of finding freedom through music. It’s a beautifully bold post-pandemic anthem that deserves to be listened to loudly.
