about

Greta’s new single ‘Daughter’ is the first song to be released from the upcoming EP ‘Ardent Spring Part II’, and also the debut album which will consist of the two EPs.

‘Daughter’ is an up-tempo 80s inspired pop track that cleverly uses its nostalgic overlay. It serves the listener with ease in a familiar expression but at the same time GRETA creates a noticeable unpredictability. In the same way she plays with her visual expression in a surprising aesthetic that draws on equal parts kitsch and nostalgia to invite the listener into her very special universe.

Like a piece of musical pop art ‘Daughter’ has a certain depth to the underlying theme. Lyrically the song reverts to ‘Baby’ from part I, mirroring the deep traces that grow in the reflection of being someones daughter.


Once again the song is produced in close collaboration with the Berlin-based Norwegian producer FARAO. 


“Kitsch, cool, weird and ethereal, this is an impressive debut body of work by GRETA” - THE ELECTRICITY CLUB on ‘Ardent Spring Part I’

lyrics

Winter rain of frozen water 

Waiting to become your daughter 

Where I woke

When I was awake

I moved on, but came back later

Knowing I could never save you

You were young, but you were never careless

I once knew a woman like you 

Harbouring a life, an heirloom 

Flew to high

Now it will never come back

I was told it lives in us now

In my brother, in me somehow 

When we woke

Where we are awake

Something’s growing

I can’t tell you

How can i tell you ?

If i don’t know what it is

Emptiness finds you

I can’t fill it

How can i fill it ?

If I have nothing to give

Someone’s waiting

I can’t show you

How can I show you ?
If I don’t know who it is

Something’s growing

I can’t tell you

How can i tell you ?

If I don’t know what it is
