Danish artist Soleima releases her new single Once Was. Pronounced so-lye-mah, this new single marks her second release, following her thoroughly well received debut single 'My Boi', which attracted attention from both Danish and international music press. It's a song which builds slowly, patiently leading towards a crushing crescendo of deep, sparkling electronics and instrumentals, with an absolutely infectious chorus. Such a dreamy tune!


Soleima goes on to explain Once Was a bit further
Sometimes the Internet inspires me when I write songs. It's somehow become natural to interact in a rapid, and flighty way. I do it myself all the time. 'Once Was', on some level is about how this can feel. In a way you're always able to be in more than once place at the same time. But equally, you are never really only with one person at one time. To me, this is a song written to a friend and not a lover, even though many might think it is a love song. I guess it represents a very universal feeling that might occur in many different relationships though - and can be relevant to anyone really.


Once Was is the first single to be lifted from Soleima's as yet untitled debut EP, and it is very much the first song to really define the sound of the forthcoming EP.
