Scandinavia has long been recognised as a hotbed of musical talent, producing an array of artists who have made their mark on the international stage. One such artist who continues to captivate listeners with her soulful sound is Marie Dahlstrom. With her latest video release, “Make It Up To You“, featuring Kofi Stone, Marie once again demonstrates her ability to craft emotionally charged music that resonates with pure soul.
Marie Dahlstrom, a London-based Danish singer-songwriter, has been making waves in the music industry with her signature blend of soul, R&B, and jazz influences for over a decade. Known for her smooth and sultry vocals, she conveys silky, heartfelt emotions through her music. Kofi Stone, a British rapper and poet, brings a dynamic and lyrical flow to the track. This makes him the perfect complement to Marie’s velvety voice.
“Make It Up To You” is a sincere and introspective track that delves into the complexities of relationships and the desire to mend what has been broken. With elements of neo-soul, hip-hop, and electronic music, the song’s production beautifully encapsulates the lyrics’ emotional depth. Kofi Stone’s rap verse adds depth to the song’s tale, while Dahlstrom’s velvety voice glides effortlessly over the intricate instrumentation.
Both artists bring their unique styles to the table, and Kofi brings his cooking skills literally to the table, too – see the video!
Taken from her latest album, A Good Life, “Make It Up To You” explores the aftermath of a broken relationship and the desire to make amends. The lyrics delve into themes of regret, vulnerability, and the overwhelming desire to rebuild what has been lost. With poignant lines like “Said you’d had enough of us, you’d been falling out of love, Feel we need to make it up, I’ll make it up to you, Said that we should try again, I don’t want our love to end,” the song captures the wounded connection.
Released with a cool video, the song’s introspective lyrics, soulful melodies, and seamless fusion of genres make it another standout release from one of Scandinavian soul’s hardest-working artists.
“Make It Up To You” is a must-listen for soul and R&B enthusiasts and further solidifies Marie Dahlstrom’s status as a Scandinavian soul queen.
