Olivia Junholm returns with You, a soothing Scandinavian soul single
Swedish artist Olivia Junholm shares You, a calm and intimate release recorded from her new base in Los Angeles.
Olivia Junholm has a special way of easing the mind. When her debut EP No Rush arrived, it felt like a gentle reset, the kind of release that quietly restores your balance. Now based in Los Angeles, she continues to send those soothing waves across the ocean with her new single You – a track shaped by the ache and tenderness of loving someone far away. The moment it begins, you feel that distance and closeness coming together.
If you are watching the video above, let me walk you through the feeling it creates.
The still image shows Olivia lying on the floor with her head tilted, eyes drifting away from the camera, holding a vintage phone handle. There is a twinkle in her eyes, a half-smile on her lips, and a retro top with warm, red tones that frames the entire mood. It is simple, but packed with the quiet longing that comes from missing someone who is not close enough to touch.
As the song unfolds, it becomes surprisingly easy to imagine you are the person she is trying to reach. The distance becomes part of the story. The stillness in the photo mirrors the waiting, the wanting, the way you linger by the phone when someone you love feels just out of reach.
With headphones on, the moment tightens even more. When she sings ‘I wish you would come on over,’ it lands with a quiet weight, the kind that comes from wishing the miles would shrink for a single evening. Her delivery feels like a whisper meant for one person, and for a second, it becomes you.
Her ability to turn longing into a daydream is what gives the track its pull. The relaxed pose in the photo and the soft clouds in her tone work together, creating a mood that feels both tender and suspended. You step into her daydream, and it seems to wrap around you.
This chill-inducing soundscape is something Olivia has shown from the start. With You, she continues to nurture that gift, now with a heartfelt message that speaks to anyone who has loved across time zones.
If you missed her debut EP, please take a moment to revisit it.
And if your days feel heavy or scattered, let this single bring a breath of calm. You is a gentle reminder that even across oceans, connection still reaches us.
