Emerald Park - Lovers in Reverse
You know how there are some songs that you listen to and then just cannot get over them for a long time? Emerald Park’s latest single, “Lovers in Reverse,” does exactly that. A slow-burn track (quite literally, as it is slow and smooth), the song almost lulls you into a sleepy trance. Led by Malmö songwriter Tobias Borelius, Emerald Park's USP has always been creating songs that feel personal and vulnerable. “Lovers in Reverse” stays true to that with a track that invites listeners into a world filled with unanswered questions. There is something very pure about this track that will stand out to you at the very get-go. The song evokes the imagery of lazy summer days, fleeting moments with lovers, and relationships caught somewhere between beginning and ending. Borelius intentionally keeps things ambiguous in its lyrics and I think that's what makes the song very appealing. Soft beats and shimmering guitars create a very slow relaxed atmosphere that I was talking about previously, too. Like, I didn't even realize that I was swaying my head along with the music while listening to it. It's really a great song to listen to on a long car ride while you stare out of the window and pretend to be in a music video. Each and every sonic element has enough room to breathe. Borelius’ vocals also fit the slow, languorous mood of the instrumentation. The lyrics are bittersweet and full of yearning. Honestly, it kinda makes you feel a little sting in your heart. “Lovers in Reverse” would fit into any slow-burn romance flick full of longing and yearning. One movie that comes to mind is Portrait of a Lady on Fire that beautifully captures the growing bond and romance between two women.
