From Sweden, Vilhelm Buchaus takes listeners on an emotional journey through the pains of destructive love with the haunting indie pop ballad, “Break My Heart Again.”
This song is built around the intimate and vulnerable sounds of a piano. For much of the track, the arrangement is elegantly sparse, allowing the piano to fill the arrangement with fragile melodies that gracefully swell dynamically over key areas. This not only helps to draw the listener into the composition, but also washes the track in a palpable mood of melancholic sadness.
Elements such as violin and lush reverberating noises delicately support adding to the heart-wrenching sentiment of the track. Profound and immersive, the music is simply exquisite. The track wonderfully allows the powerful vocal abilities of Vilhelm Buchaus to shine. Expressive, gentle, and soaring, we are led on an emotional journey that perfectly encapsulates the yearning, pain, and turmoil of a broken relationship.
On the track, Buchaus adds: “I wrote Break My Heart Again about being stuck in a broken relationship that doesn’t work, despite trying multiple times. I knew the relationship caused me more pain than joy, but I still hoped for a different outcome, and that feeling inspired this song.”
“Break My Heart Again” is a raw listening experience filled with endearingly honest vocals and sophisticated instrumentation. The track is the third single to be taken from Vilhelm Buchaus’ highly anticipated debut EP, slated for release this Autumn.
