Nápoles Shares New Single ‘Circulate’
Swedish rising singer and songwriter Nápoles has just unveiled her brand new single Circulate, the second offering from her forthcoming debut EP Slowin It, which is due for release later this summer.
Raised in Stockholm, with Cuban and Russian heritage, Nápoles has always been surrounded by music, growing up on hip-hop, house, dancehall and gospel music, whether it was as a young street-style dancer, or as a 15-year old singer in youth choirs such as Joyful Noise and the Tensta Gospel Choir, which helped her develop her own musical language.
Circulate was co-written by Nápoles and Joe Lefty with production by fellow Swedish creatives Chapee and Wihib Sulaiman, and sees Nápoles excellently showcasing her laid-back musical stylings. I am really enjoying her smooth and enchanting vocals and how they flow effortlessly over the infectious production that blends elements of lush soul, hip-hop, R&B and jazz (I am loving that sensual sax). This is a perfect song for a relaxing day at home and I think you guys will enjoy it too. Check it out below!
Speaking about the inspiration behind Circulate, Nápoles says,
the inspiration comes from my everyday life. I wrote ‘Circulate’ at a time when I was thinking about the universe, space and how everything is connected. At night, I would watch ‘Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey’ and read books of that nature, and during the day at work, I would daydream a lot about these themes. I was also figuring myself out as an artist, and the exploration of my sound, combined with all these thoughts, led to the making of ‘Circulate’. I want my music to be fun, smooth and energetic at the same time, and I think that comes across on this song.
