Danish newcomer Soleima makes pop music look effortless.

New cut 'Wasted' has a distorted, vivid, colour-soaked sense of production, while the lyrics have a contagious complexity.

'Wasted' is about recognising that the world is a mess, but refusing to allow that fact to interrupt your own life.

Soleima explains: "...the song is about allowing yourself to run away from a crazy and awful world. Using a disguise and forgetting everything for a moment. But also it is a song about having blinders on. Not recognising, or choosing to forget - that we are living in a fucked-up world."

Tropical production matched to a gorgeous vocal, you can check 'Wasted' out below.
