Swedish songwriting duo release their second single
A conversational relay of love gone cold through miscommunication and misunderstandings marks the second release of Swedish songwriting duo Rallie & Coal.
Swedish songwriting duo Rallie & Coal, comprised of vocalist Maya Nalani Carlsson and guitarist and vocalist Fredrik Toremark, have today released their second single Cold To Me.
Cold To Me is a dark pop song that explores the feelings of a relationship gone cold. In a laid-back, melodic language, the song conveys the themes of miscommunication and relationship deterioration. Written and performed as a duet, it sees both sides of a relationship and how it has turned to poison over time.
"It likens a relationship to a seesaw," says lead singer Rallie. "You have your ups and downs, highs and lows, but have you ever tried keeping a seesaw balanced? It's a challenge, and after a while a bit boring. It's a catch twenty-two, much like a fragile relationship."
Guitarist and vocalist Coal, know to many as Fredrik Toremark from the 2014 season of Idol Sweden, describes the song as a conversational piece that he believes will put Rallie & Coal on the map as the duo they are.
"I think Rallie and I complement each other really well on so many levels. I loved writing this song with her and I will never get tired of performing it," says Coal. "That's the beauty of being a guy-girl duo."
Cold To Me was written by Rallie & Coal and produced by Beatrice Jaksch and Gabriel Pettersson. It is the first of many releases to come by this partnership.
Filled with heartfelt emotions and chilled tunes in a wonderfully produced package, Cold To Me by Rallie & Coal will be available from today on Spotify, Apple Music and other major music platforms.
