Sweden | GROUNDSTROEM - "Sunset trouble"

BRAND NEW

Sounds European! is proud to present a great new artist coming from Sweden. It's singer and songwriter GROUNDSTROEM, who has just released his debut single, "Sunset trouble". The title presents the contrast of sunset (the good feeling of being in love) and trouble (the bad feeling of knowing the person will never be good for you).

"You know this person makes you do stuff you shouldn't, but you keep on doing them anyway, over and over. Your mind says one thing and your heart another. And somehow in the end, the heart always seems to win", says GROUNDSTROEM. The song is, as he perfectly describes, an "all-the-time song": it has such an infectious vibe and energy!
