Oslo-based artist Selma French has released her sub-two-minute new track, ‘Pine Tree’. It’s a tender, lilting track that feels innocent and powerful in equal measure. Her voice is dreamy and soft, matching the warm strum of strings. “I recorded it without even having lyrics in the verse, but then we concluded it was nice to have a break from words and just sway along the notes in this little Waltz. It feels like this song knows a secret story, like it is guarding a hidden treasure on the bottom of the sea. In the spirit of this mystery, I added some minimalistic viola details on it afterwards.” Selma French will be releasing her new album, No Sign Of Rotten Leaves, via Hype City on April 23rd, 2025. -Dan Peeke
