Downtown is the debut single of Swedi sh artist Johnny Låga . Featuring a stunning vocal
performance by SIGNE, the listener is brought on an emotional journey through catchy,
melancholic melodies.
Joining the Swedish legacy of cle verly crafted pop music, Johnny Låga’s self – made debut
stays in your ear for hours. It breathes both confidence and f ragility as the powerfu l synths
accompany the tender lyrics.
– You know, I’m probably as fascinated sitting by the piano now as when I was eight years old.
The magic of i t is that it doesn’t get boring even for a day to keep exploring the m
usic that’s within me and other people. This song als o came out of that exploration.
Downtown marks itself as the latest addition to the Scandinavian synth – heavy pop movement,
following fellow Nordic music acts like Little Dragon, Niki & the Dove, Emilie Nicolas, Robyn, MØ, Lykke Li,
Röyksopp and Susanne Sundfør.
The music is dark yet uplifting and manages to give a wink to a retro 80s sound while at the same time
expressing something very now.
