Swedish folk-pop artist, songwriter and music producer Anna Grelle has just shared her brand new single Dirt in the Gold, a haunting, cinematic power ballad with a dark undertone.
What I like the most about this song is how powerful and expressive Anna Grelle's vocal delivery is, soaring beautifully over the polished production. Dirt in the Gold is a song about looking for flaws in what is good, in the classic saying that it is too good to be true. I am one of those that is always suspicious when things seem too good, and I keep looking for something wrong or expecting for things to go awry. This message is wrapped around a polished production with haunting piano chords nicely intertwined with cinematic strings and a punchy beat that together create an overall sombre atmosphere.
