Look out for Stockholm-based artist Amanda Cygnaeus aka CY and the new track Next To Yours. I love it. Think indie-pop mixed with alt 90’s guitars – Phoebe Bridgers and girl in red.
CY shares: “I wrote it after my first real heartbreak, back when me and my ex-girlfriend broke up. I have a tendency to either romanticize the past or worry about the future, so this was a way of reminding myself of what the relationship was really like and the fact that she ditched me. Kind of “how dare you?” but at the same time feeling okay cause you know that you just weren’t right for each other. I had built up those emotions for a while, so the song literally flew out of me.”
