I have been a huge fan of SKOTT ever since she debuted with her single Porcelain in 2016, a beautiful and fragile indie folk song that highlighted SKOTT’s now notorious vocal range. Since her debut and after releasing a handful of other songs throughout last year and earlier this year, SKOTT has had a permanent place on my one’s to watch list. She has remained extremely consistent in producing delightfully dark and mystical indie folk songs with a pop edge. For me, it is always an extra special treat when the Norwegian songstress releases a new single into the world and with her new track ‘Mermaid’ once again SKOTT surpasses expectations and continues to show off her vocal capabilities. The track features very atmospheric production and is arranged in a familiar way with explosive choruses and brooding verses layered over minimal electronic beats. The track also incorporates a recurring piano hook that is extremely catchy and adds yet another dimension to the song.
The choruses within the song are where you find SKOTT’s voice truly shines as she showcases her ability to reach damn near inhuman falsetto notes. The track features less of a dark alternative/indie folk vibe than past releases and instead leans more towards an indie pop type sound. Overall, the mystical and dreamy musical style that SKOTT has mastered and become known for is well represented in this song and adds to her already very consistent and impressive discography. Her distinct and unconventional indie folk sound is growing in popularity and if you’re not a fan of SKOTT already, you should be after listening to this.
