A beautifully emotive and razor sharp alternative pop release was brought to us by Erika Sirola, ‘BERNADETTE’ is the lead single of her EP, a rhythmic, melancholic and experimental funk rock sound that is hypnotising and deep vocal-heavy.
The Finnish-Canadian artist has created a mesmerising soundscape that builds on soft vocals, shimmering synths and captivating hooks that are enter and exit as they please. Its build up is slow and then erupts into a festive rhythm and chorus with mantra-like lyrics that are easy to sing along yet complex in their meaning. The lead single of her EP is a testament to her evolution as an artist, ever growing and adapting, on the song she embarks on an exploration of the theme of identity.
She showcases her Nordic energy and musical wizardry and intertwines irresistible melodies with a blend of dark and shimmering production hooks. “This melancholic funky rock track encapsulates the ‘dark’ that one may hesitate to acknowledge about oneself. It takes on a personified form in the character of a woman named Bernadette, inspired by a painting created by Đinh Ý Nhi.”
Her self-designed jewellery pieces and clothing collection are a fantastic repercussion of her inability to stay in just one lane of creative work. The collection reflects her commitment to sustainable fashion and interest in antiques, armour, and transforming cutlery into one-of-a-kind wearable pieces. The jewellery collection will be accessible through Basic Space.
