Setting the tone with a layered vocal crescendo and pulsating beat, Petra Jasmiina opens Summer Dress with intrigue and dimensionality, before a luscious acoustic guitar performance captivates us further.
The opus expands as Petra delivers atmospheric vocals and situational prose with the words, “Here’s looking at you and your wide-eyed Peter Pan smile, strutting down these streets of dust with your hand in mine.”
We are immediately drawn in by the star’s poetic prowess and the emotional depth that she conveys with her lyricism and narrative-driven approach to songwriting.
Speaking on the release of Summer Dress, Petra confesses, “This song came to me as softly and easily as a summer breeze, and I fell in love with it instantly. Its lyrics, especially the second verse, are some of the best I’ve ever written”
The star continues, “I hope it takes you back to a gorgeous summer night and a young wild romance, and reminds you of the beauty in fleeting things.”
We also learn that the song was written on her NYC rooftop, designed to take us to “the golden city of Manhattanhenge and its balmy summer nights, restless streets and dark corners.”
There is no doubt that fans of Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey will be able o connect with Petra Jasmiina, although it is also clear that the creator is manifesting a universe of her own.
We love what Petra Jasmiina has to offer with her sound, and have added Summer Dress to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream her wider discography including Jackie O Lake, and Sheeran.
