Daring to Defy: 7000apart's "Runaway" Strikes a Chord In a musical epoch where authenticity competes with conformity, international duo 7000Apart's single "Runaway" strides confidently onto the alternative pop stage like a refreshing gust of wind. Built around the distinct yet harmonious voices of Swedish Amelie Eiding and American Jon Kresin, this husband-and-wife team delivers a compelling musical message fraught with vulnerability and resilience. https://open.spotify.com/track/3E0f1jCykZMvuhPV2OazQR?si=4e0b6d83443c45c4 "Runaway" is a spirited exploration into the vernacular of alternative pop that merges stunning vocals, insightful lyrics, and captivating instrumentals into a symphony lodged firmly in the realm of realism and lined with the delicate tracery of abstraction. Eiding's vocal power is showcased exceptionally well in this track - her timbre sweeter yet potent, imbuing each lyric with an artistically resonant vehemence that lingers in your ears long after the track concludes. Eiding and Kresin's unique international perspective undoubtedly shines through their alternative pop sound, a genre known for its tendency to color outside the lines, much like the duo themselves. The groovy, rhythmic ebb and flow of "Runaway" draws clear influence from both American pop sensibilities and the soulful, polished smoothness synonymous with Scandinavian pop - a fascinating listen indeed. https://youtu.be/a2-uoEaFeu0 Lyrically, "Runaway" resonates with its listeners on multiple levels. The rebellious call to defy societal norms and embrace one's individuality is bold, daring, and unapologetically forward. The duo's songwriting acumen does not shy away from exploring this profound narrative with depth and raw beauty, raising a rallying cry for those grappling with self-acceptance and identity. Yet, the song's title instructs us paradoxically, urging us not just to escape, but also to run towards authenticity. It's a plight that is markedly personal yet universally relatable, acted out in the rich tapestry of melodies and harmonies that fill "Runaway."

Instead, it is a nuanced landscape with subtle crests and troughs, reflecting moments of introspection and bursts of self-aware realizations. This emotional undulation elevates the whole experience of the song, fostering a more profound connection between the music and the listener. In conclusion, 7000Apart’s track "Runaway" is more than merely an alternative pop song; it’s a musical embodiment of the collective human experience. Its rich, incisive lyrics couched in resonant vocals and underscored by ingenious instrumentals deliver a potent message of embracing authenticity and defying conformity. A delightful and inspiring piece of art that reaffirms the power of music in articulating human struggles and triumphs. Follow 7000apart Website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Review: The indie-pop duo 7000apart have released their newest single ‘White Noise’, a groovy tune with a message that yearns to live life

With their upcoming crowdfunded, sophomore album ‘Feel Your Feelings’, the duo and couple 7000apart have jumped from strength to strength since first stepping foot onto the music scene. Inspired by indie acts like Fickle Friends and Claire Rosinkranz, their familiar tones make every song a warm and comforting sonic endeavour, whilst clean harmonies, distinct bass and continually gorgeous lyricism sets them apart as a pairing to watch. Now releasing their newest single ‘White Noise’, 7000apart have set the stage for what to expect from their album, and it’s beyond exceptional.

Groovy right from setting off, ‘White Noise’ stumbles through a bright audio palette you’ll find immediately sweeping you off your feet and onto the dancefloor, wrapped between the enchanting indie-pop styles that 7000apart boast. From a clattering beat to a deep, funky bassline entangled in the more minimal opening of the first verse, the song carries itself with an air of uplifting energy that’s guaranteed to put you in a better mood than you were before pressing play. Things swiftly pick up further though, emphatically lifted by a vibrant electric guitar riff that leads right into one hell of a striking chorus that’s more than ready to get hooked in your head. As the beats settle to more of a steady thumping, you’ll instantly find yourself swaying along while the continued dominant bassline and vivid electric guitar intertwine for an addictively rhythmic performance, all the while synth pops litter the undertones. The duo’s female vocalist takes the lead through ‘White Noise’, delivering a confident and self-assured narrative in an impressively agile higher range, soaring through gorgeous highs with an ease. Her partner adds a deeper complementary tone throughout though, adding backing vocals for many of her lines in a subtle, subdued approach that doesn’t overshadow but adds yet another layer to the soundscape of ‘White Noise’ that you can’t help but be completely enthralled by.

With an enchantingly flowing sound, it’s perhaps a pleasant surprise that 7000apart have penned an equally meaningful message amidst their easy-going tones. Written during the heights of the pandemic and the enforced lockdowns, ‘White Noise’ finds itself singing of a desperation to return to a normal life once again but being physically stuck between their four walls and mentally locked in their heads. As the chorus sings ‘life is white noise, I wish I had a choice’, 7000apart make it clear that their reality has become a lifeless flickering of the same scenes, wanting more from it but restricted to living out the same days over and over. Continuing in lyrics like ‘living in a blur, feels like a different world’ , the duo speak of how living seems to have lost its spark, with everything turning into a ‘blur’ that they’ve more just surviving through than really experiencing. As the feeling of ‘home’ becomes dampened and no longer feels a warm space to return to when you’re there every moment of every day, lines like ‘home’s got a different meaning, home’s got a different feeling and we can’t get away’ exhibit the longing to be truly anywhere else. Though unintended, ‘White Noise’ will perhaps be an all-too relatable release for those also struggling through mental health lows, finding connotations from the pair’s inabilities to go out and yearning to be able to live a life of colour once again. All in all, ‘White Noise’ is sure to be a hard-hitting release for most, but with things mostly re-opened to normality it’s a much easier pill to swallow looking back than being stuck amidst it.

Check out ‘White Noise’ here to enjoy 7000apart’s poignant lyricism and danceable soundscape!

Review: 7000apart share a bedroom-pop delicacy in new softened single ‘Whole Lot Left To Lose’ that bears a heavy lyrical message

Husband and wife duo 7000apart were brought together as high school sweethearts, and when returning to Sweden after her exchange trip to Wisconsin, vocalist Amelie and her now husband Jon began the well-loved project known to us as 7000apart. Referencing the 7,000 kilometres between them, their message as a pair encompasses much of their own difficulties from their long-distance relationship days amidst mental health awareness and other personal struggles.

Since their debut record ‘We Are More’ in 2019, which has accumulated an incredible 130,000 streams, the pair have grasped upon many opportunities with their time on Sweden’s Got Talent marking centre stage. A mass of other well-deserved achievements have also solidified their joint success over the years, but 7000apart are still certainly an undiscovered duo across the seas and their latest single ‘Whole Lot Left To Lose’ will hopefully mark a start in building an even greater audience for them worldwide.

With a whistled introduction, ‘Whole Lot Left To Lose’ chimes in with an aura of brightness paired with a softened intimacy that shines through every delicate guitar note. Flowing through the verse with just a few backing sounds and the reverberated guitar, 7000apart’s vocalist Amelie hauntingly layers atop this comforting bed of sound with her powerful but friendly delivery. As the whistled hook returns for a post-chorus pick me up, Amelia also adds some sweet backing vocals in the form of ‘da’’s that together make for a moment of warmth in an otherwise incredibly raw and heartbreaking journey that the sound envelops behind its ease. Whilst utterly juxtaposing the seriousness of the words sung, ‘Whole Lot Left To Lose’ perhaps puts on a front similar to those suffering behind closed doors, showing the world the best of itself whilst under the surface is pleading for help perhaps more obviously than you’d think at first place. Resting at just under two minutes long, this short but mellow slice of bedroom-pop pays homage to artists like dodie and Jack Johnson in its easy listening tempo along with an important message to share, and only needs the time it has to leave an impact on you for a lifetime.

With lyricism inspired by the hit ‘death bed’ by Powfu and beabadoobee, 7000apart use ‘Whole Lot Left To Lose’ as an outlet to discuss mental health in its purest and most vulnerable form. As they draw on their own experiences with depression and anxiety, the heart-wrenching lyrical journey touches on their insecurities and uncertainties within life, including the intrusive ones in our minds that many will wholeheartedly relate to. Lines like ‘Sometimes I feel like this could be our last goodbye, because I know that love can end without a single warning’ very intimately explore the internal narrative fed to you from your demons, whether the anxiety stems from a loved one dying or the idea they’ll make a sudden decision to end a lengthy happy relationship, 7000apart have been sure to pen a realistic but melancholic insight into the everyday realities of mental health and the irrational thoughts it can cause. With a few moments that feel initially light yet darker upon closer inspection, 7000apart know exactly how to write an upbeat sad song for their listeners to relate to but find hope under the surface: ‘Sometimes at night I don’t want to close my eyes because I know I’ll have to open them up in the morning.’ Alluding to not wanting to wake up at all, yet still providing an air of hope in that you should make every second count, 7000apart have formulated a song that undoubtably will hurt to hear but make you feel a thousand times less alone - urging their listeners stick through the darkness and come out the other side in a place as joyful as their sound.

‘Whole Lot Left To Lose’ is available to check out here if 7000apart sound like the dreamy pair you’ve been hoping to discover, or if you’re just in need of an impactful song that doesn’t carry too much weight!

Pop Duo 7000apart transcends their relationship on New Single 'No is a Nice Word'

“She's from Stockholm, Sweden. He's from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Together, they're 7000apart, a pop duo with a high school love story and an international following.” //Green Bay Press Gazette 2021

The husband-and-wife duo of Amelie Eiding and Jon Kresin is the core of 7000apart. Their story began in 2012 when Amelie left her hometown of Stockholm, Sweden to attend high school as an exchange student in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was there where she met Jon and they fell in love. When she returned to Sweden, the couple started 7000apart as their creative project together named after the 7,000 kilometer distance between them. They spent three years like this before reuniting and getting married in 2016, which is when 7000apart became a serious artistic endeavor.

7000apart’s music transcends the relationship between Jon & Amelie. One of the cornerstones of their songwriting is mental health awareness. Their lyrics often touch on personal struggles and finding strength through dark times. They want to create music that resonates with others & helps them to feel a little less alone.

7000apart released their debut record “We Are More” in 2019, which now has over 130,000 streams (and counting) and is featured on over 1,300 playlists on Spotify alone. 2020 also brought Amelie & Jon to the international stage on Sweden’s Got Talent (Talang) with their original song “Until I Found You”, brought them international press with a collaboration in Sweden with mental health non-profit Suicide Zero and their song “Hör av dig (Reach Out)” to spread awareness about loneliness people face during the holidays, and garnered them a WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) nomination for New Artist of the Year. 2021 brought more accolades for the duo with their song “Blank Check” being played on U.S.A. national TV on MTV’s show “The Hills: New Beginnings''.

Amelie & Jon’s sonic journey with 7000apart has brought them from being an acoustic singer-songwriter based duo to a formidable full-band indie-pop sound. The sound of 7000apart is a fusion from many different genres from funk to neo-soul, from mainstream pop to electronic music, and from rock to metal. Their sound has been influenced by long term influences of Paramore, Evanescence, Switchfoot, Sara Bareilles, and Adele; to the all time greats, such as: Amy Winehouse, Whitney Houston, and Abba; to more modern influences, such as: Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, and The Chain Smokers. They say that music is a window to the soul & 7000apart hopes that the lyrical content of their songs & fusion of their favorite genres of music will speak to their listeners the same way the music they’ve been influenced by has spoken to them.

The couple is currently working with Grammy-winning Nashville producer & songwriter, FEMKE, on their sophomore album, “Feel Your Feelings”. The project is a dynamic journey of the highs & lows they have faced on their journey, remembering the importance of self-care & expressing yourself while also remembering it’s okay to not be okay. “Feel Your Feelings” has a Side A which is more focused on the sad emotions we face in everyday life while Side B is focused on expressing yourself & self-empowerment.
