Chensla is an outfit designed with a vulnerable pulse. Derived from the Swedish word, ‘känsla’, it means to feel and vibe. The singer-songwriter and alt folk artist dotes on authenticity and honesty, making these virtues the central point of his music. And like this, his music attains a real time presence. It seeps into the atmosphere around you and slowly makes its way into your spirit. Chensla has just released his debut EP, ‘Death & Birth’. The four song collection delves into the ambivalent spaces that exist between these two absolutes, fleshing it out with agents of love, heartbreak, transition, and tragedy.
The collection is very well conceived and wholesomely executed. ‘Knock on Wood’ is the breakout track. Led by his warm baritones and dancing piano melodies, the track explores spaces that exist between lovers and life partners. It is both storytelling and contemplative. Heartwarming imagery becomes the moving points of living and settling into sweet mundanity with the love of his life. His precious tone of voice and his attitude for gratitude further elevates the experience of the theme and makes you ache for a love so fine. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
