Next month we’ll get to see Manda grace the Melodifestivalen stage for the first time with her song ‘Glow’. It comes after her time on the Swedish version of X Factor, plus her debut single ‘Sweetest Heartbreak’. But before that, she’s squeezing in another release. It’s her new single and video ‘Criminals’.
It’s a brilliballad! A gorgeously melodic sad love song that’s sung beautifully by Manda. Seriously – she sounds incredible on it. What a voice! We already knew the girl could sing, particularly thanks to that YouTube cover of ‘Holy Grail’ she treated us to last year (which has been removed from YouTube now – c’mon Manda put it back up please). But this is beyond even that. And it bodes well for a spine tingler of vocal performance on that big stage next month. DON’T DISAPPOINT MANDA. No pressure or owt.
Oh God this song is so good. Especially the LUSH second half. *listens again*
‘Criminals’ was written by Joy Deb, Linnea Deb, Anton Hård Af Segerstad, and Charlie Mason.
Here’s the song and video;
