The world’s intense and Ellen Benediktson matches that intensity with her rhythmic pulsing synths in "WID4L." From political events to celebrity drama to job applications, life seems overwhelming. In her latest single, "WID4L," Benediktson thrives in self-awareness, digging into her limits of love. Her yearning is totally rock ‘n’ roll bonded with the flashing lights on the club dancefloor. Her passion is raw and loud, and there’s no signs of keeping her quiet in "WID4L."
"WID4L" combines the grooves of popular 2000s dance hits with the quality of modern mastering. The hypnotic melody, tangled in electro-pop synths, zip and zap right to the heart. Each beat claps like a lightning bolt, and the technicality flows like the timing of thunder. Benediktson harnesses what it means to feel with her whole self. In an uncontrollable environment, she doesn’t give up, but she finds power in letting go. Letting the emotions run. Love takes over in "WID4L."
The Swedish singer-songwriter is known for her smashing beats powered by electro-pop melodies. Benediktson gained attention in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013. The next year, she placed seventh in the Melodifestivalen. Her intelligence and sympathy for current events extends beyond "WID4L to her start." She released “When The Sun Comes Up” in association to the Swedish Feminist Initiative. You can check out more of her music using the links below.
