The Sweet Serenades “On My Way”
Last fall/ winter, Sweden duo The Sweet Serenades “sweetly serenaded” many blogs-watchers with their fun and bouncy offering “Mona Lee”…and nearly a year later, they’re prepared to heat up the cold months all over again with this second addictive cut pulled from their Balcony Cigarettes album.
An indie-pop rhythmic rush that refuses to let up, “On My Way” charges out the gate packing an energetic blend of rumbling bass, stormy guitar bits, toms, cowbell and some overtime-working drum pounding as illustration for the intense sexual tension between singer Martin Nordvall and some sexy looker he’s hot on the heels of.
Urging her to “have a drink, put that red dress on” via a wiry croon that sounds half out of breath trying to keep up with the track’s rapid-paced power-pop tumble, Nordvall’s intent on snatching up his target by any means necessary, assuring her “I’m on my way” in a haunting falsetto vocal peak that’ll ring in your head long after the song has galloped into silence…at which point, you’ll hit “rewind” just to be swarmed by the track’s catchy goodness all over again.
