New Single 'Lost' by Norwegian Singer Iselin is Beautifully Honest

by Liz J

Norwegian singer and songwriter, Iselin Solheim, has released her new single and it’s hauntingly beautiful. Titled Lost, you will easily get lost in the sheer beauty and simplicity of the song which will transport you to a world you never knew you wanted to visit

Originally grabbing the world’s attention with her stunning vocals in the Alan Walker smash-hit, Faded, Iselin soon went from uncredited vocalist on a chart-topping song to an artist in her own right. She’s already proven to the world that she can effortlessly hold her own with Bathtub, a searingly honest song and her first single which was released earlier this year.

Once again, Iselin shows how she’s able to bring melody, lyrics, and vocals together to form a glorious and almost transcending song that forces you to pay attention. Her vocals cut through the relatively minimal instrumentals and, when she does stand back ever so slightly, the sweeping synths just wrap listeners up in waves of musical artistry and warmth. The fact that she’s able to make this accessible to the mainstream listener, while still maintaining a kind of experimental sound just makes it that much more impressive.

Iselin has managed to win over a large audience not just in Norway, but the rest of the world, in a short amount of time. With just two self-written songs to her name, she’s already being noticed internationally. Partly because she has a truly phenomenal voice that just melts across the airwaves, but also because she just spills her soul into every song she sings. It serves as therapy to the soul of both the listener and Iselin herself.

Following on her highly successful collaborations with Alan Walker – Faded and Sing Me To Sleep – Iselin is now ready to stand on her own two feet and share her highly personal stories with the world. And she has so many stories to tell.

Speaking about Lost, Iselin emphasizes just how much of herself she put into the song.

 

Lost is probably one of the most personal and emotional songs I’ve ever written. That terrifies me a bit, to be honest, but at the same time, it feels good to release something that just came straight from the heart…mainly it’s about letting go of something that meant a lot to you, and how it affects you in so many ways when you know that part of your life is over."
