Prince of Sweden is a singer-songwriter, but a storyteller first. His narratives are driven by an innate candor and insight. It marks him and distinguishes him from other artists. The artist was raised in the country and perhaps that had something to do with how effortlessly profound his lyrics and singing are. In his latest single, ‘Lines Closed to Callers’ he blends the molten textures of acoustic rock with alt folk ethos. It is soft and vulnerable, lonely and bruising. But there’s a beautiful presence in there that you cannot walk away from. Listen Now!
The track forms in layers, be it instrumentally, vocally, and lyrically and emotionally. It all forms simultaneously, undulating like conscious thought. The acoustic guitar line is rooted in a swirling pool of post rock. A mellow electric guitar tangent flows through this frame and ties into the vocals. Prince’s baritones carry dazing gradients, seamless harmonies and a culminating melancholy. The best way to enjoy it is to completely indulge in the layered reality that he crafts. It suspends us in a deep and evocative space and forges a vulnerability like never before.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
