Herald K new single. Let’s take a different path today and depart from the busy summer parties, rivers of drinks, and popping beats. Instead, let’s take a stroll deeper into the forest and soak in the warm quietness. Somewhere in this forest is a river, home to a story quite like the one you’re about to hear in the newest single… “Arethusa”

The Norwegian singer-songwriter loves a good piece of literature. His soft folky sound is in fact influenced by tales told in his favorite poems and novels, and he builds a captivating world around the scene, inviting the listeners to come and sink in the whole atmosphere and be a witness to some mystifying stories layered with hidden meanings. Right now Herald K is very keen on all things mythological, and this new single is the first to come out of this string of songs.
“Arethusa” is a beautiful nymph and also the title of the new single. Much like the calm imagery of her bathing in a river, the song begins with beautiful magical instrumentation. The story takes on a turn as the river is also a god named Alpheus, and he’s taken in by the nymph’s beauty, wanting to have her all for himself. The bubbling and foaming story is told by a deep warm voice, underlining the sheer passion from the river god as well as the nymphs desperate need to escape.
The thorough calmness in the artist’s soft-spoken voice allows to trust the nymph managed to escape. How, you ask? Well, then you’ll have to listen to this song!
