about
Melancholic strolls into a Shibuya sunrise, skipping time zones with new friends, and turning URL relationships into IRL romance. These are some of the pillars in Gothenburg rapper Blå Värld's forthcoming single ‘distance (this dance)’ released as SRS011 via independent imprint Silk Road Sounds. Strung together by a heavy heart and unsteady WiFi. If the future is unpredictable, then let's rest in solace that the present is the best it'll ever be. As a forerunner and veteran in Swedish rap aswell as a daring experimental ambient producer, the single here clearly puts Blå Värld's versatility on display. The artists takes full regin in production, songwriting and vocals. If COVID-19 taught us anything at all, it's that distance can either divide us or bring us closer to ourselves.
