[song] Siv Disa – Fools

Siv Disa is back with a new single, which is the first new music from an artist since her brilliant debut album Dreamhouse dropped at the end of 2021.

The song, titled “Fools”, is a dark ambient pop number that showcases Disa’s stunning vocals and songwriting abilities. A hauntingly beautiful jewel, it delivers a clear message of the artist’s inner conflict and feelings of detachment. The production is equally impressive, with an atmospheric sound that perfectly complements Siv Disa’s vocals.

Check it out below, out now on Trapped Animal Records.
