The Swedish pop trio make a glittery and bold statement with their new anthem.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
As with many faces of our culture, love has morphed into something totally unrecognizable. Life itself clips along at a much brisker pace these days, flickering by in social media feeds and tragic evening news. Swedish pop trio The Magnettes ⏤ of Rebecka Digervall, Sanna Kalla and producer Tomas Bäcklund Tuneström ⏤ collect together the last embers of a bygone era of romantic rendezvouses on rooftops and out along the shoreline at dusk. The sun penetrates the horizon in sharp droplets, and with their new single “Shakes (Falling in Love),” they wrap themselves in the rush of the chase, the thrills, the embrace, the fleeting cheek-to-cheek snuggles. “I can’t come into work today / I think I might be falling in love,” Digervall and Kalla caterwaul into a starry ether of guitar and synths. As much sorrow whips through the mix, there’s a blissful yearning that quickly soaks through their early ’00s denim. By the end, you forget all about the love lost to time and just live in the club beats that energize even the smallest of atoms. Carpe diem, as they say!
The band’s 2017 debut, Ugly Youth, was named one of our Best Albums of 2017.
