Rebecca & Fiona release their second album ‘Beauty Is Pain’ next week. And this week they’ve released another teaser from the album – ‘Cold Heart’ featuring their fellow Swede, Duvchi.
A downbeat and depressing vocal and melody is paired up with a dazzling production that chugs along like a repetitive trip. And the combination of the two results in the stylised beginnings of a particularly bad comedown. Despite this though, it’s a superb listen. Although probably not if you actually are in the beginnings of a particularly bad comedown.
Fiona spoke to VIBE about ‘Cold Heart’s meaning and the decision to collaborate with Duvchi; “The song is about a breakup where a boy is treating this girl like she’s nothing, she’s always left behind and he doesn’t make room for her. The song has been with us since the first album but it didn’t make it because we hadn’t finished it in time and we felt like it didn’t have the story it deserved. Duvchi came up to us and wanted to collaborate so when he put his lyrics on the track we felt like it was finished“.
You might well remember Duvchi from when we wrote about his debut single ‘Whole Life Tour‘ back in March last year. Back then we didn’t pick up on the fact that he tied in so well with the Rebecca & Fiona vocal – but when he starts his verse here, it almost sounds just like they’re singing again.
Listen to ‘Cold Heart’;
