Mathilde Widding’s “Spells Me Under,” produced by Mads Torbjorn Martinsen, is the kind of track that is the kind of track that pulls you under slowly, then floods your senses completely – like walking into the ocean until it overtakes you. Released just last month, it mesmerizes you with its larger-than-life sense of longing and tension—Mathilde’s voice acting like a siren call through the fog of a complicated, tangled love. The lyrics, like “Crying my tears, down, down, down, down, down – Once again,” capture the weight and the unending cycle of a love that feels more like a trap than an escape.
Musically, the track flows with a smooth, live feel. The piano chords come in with a comforting warmth, and the guitar’s right there at the edge, plucking with precision. The drums thump heavily and big but not to the point of being overpowering; making sure Widding’s voice still commands the room. The inspired Scandinavian songbird’s voice skates between smoky jazz undertones and a rawness that pierces, drifting through the track like it’s holding back tears and triumph all at once. She carves out her own space, each verse stacking up like layers, building a sound that feels more certain every time it loops back around.
