Up-and-coming Stockholm-based singer/songwriter Mahad has just released his silky-smooth new single ‘Still The Same’, and it shows an artist who’s getting more and more confident with each new song. It’s a short little ditty, clocking in at just over two minutes, but what it lacks in runtime it more than compensates for with its entrancing R&B-inspired soundscape and heartfelt lyrics. Mahad’s vocal performance also deserves a special mention; deeply passionate, velvety, and filled with soul. It’s actually quite remarkable that this young musician is still new to the game and, for all intents and purposes, just getting started really!
‘Still The Same’ tells the age-old tale of a love that was never meant to be. A love we hoped would be our last but, no matter the dedication, always ended in the same way. “Inside of us we have this hope that if we try one more time it will be different,” says Mahad. “This is what ‘Still The Same’ is about”.
From the mesmerizing, captivating guitar work to the smooth drums and everything in between, I’ve fallen in love with this little tune. I get the feeling we’ll be hearing a lot more from Mahad in the coming months and years, and I for one cannot wait!
