In her most recent single, "Sweet Heart," Criwolf provides a moment, one about vivid, poetic recall. Mixing the gauzy textures of dream pop with the melodic grit of alt and dark pop, the song is a testament to her late brother, shining light through the fog of mourning and memory.
"Sweet Heart" weaves a lush affair of sound that is both powerful and intimate, with guitar melodies, and vocals that are as dark and settling as midnight. Criwolf's voice has a weight to it, a soulful one that lightly leads us through an intensely personal meditation on love, loss, and longing.
Produced by Eddy Mattei, who has collaborated with Italian legend Zucchero Fornaciari, the song boasts a lush and full sound, but it is tastefully restrained. The immersive arrangement, spacious, moody, and emotional, certainly carries a Mattei touch, and it serves Criwolf's lyrical storytelling well.
With already radio and TV airplay and live shows booked across London, "Sweet Heart" is a step in the right direction for this great piece of indie. It's a sign of Criwolf's expanding presence in the genre, one that's not afraid to explore emotional depth or ambition. What makes the song special is its emotional rawness.
Those who crave authenticity, meaning, and atmosphere will discover all three in "Sweet Heart." It's that type of track where you find out it late at night and take it along with you far past dawn. Criwolf has written a love letter to grief, memory, and the healing process. And in the process, she's given us a song that feels human.
