We all remember our first love right, even if some of us try to forget it. The emotional introduction to a euphoric and head-dizzying romance often ended in tears for so many of us. It’s a story Elma explores from a different perspective with her sensual soul new single – 1st Love.

The Swedish songstresses art of crafting well-written singles with a soulful arrangement continues with 1st Love. Following her tracks, Death by Drowning and Does She, this is another praiseworthy release.

Elma’s (Matilda Gratte) harmonious tone and attractive, laidback charm are the ideal characteristics to present this singles’ look at love.

1st love flows with soul. Her lush melodies gently vibrate in symphony with the warm guitar chords to produce a luxurious listening experience.

In Elma’s words – “It’s about the magic of first love, and though that love was never meant to last, it will always be the first. And there’s something very special in that.”

Elma’s hopeful expression and multilayers of harmonies are angelic in evocative charm  – with a touch of humour.

1st Love is a perfume scented invitation into her sophisticated soul world. And this is a love to last.
