Alt popster GRETE releases new single ‘How Long’
Following on from Grete’s first single, a romantic, emotional ballad, she continued the sentiment, however, this time the song progresses into a darker, more twisted space. This is created by dissonant chords, biting and distorted guitar leads, heavy drums, rhythmic bass and Grete’s soaring vocals. The track is punctuated with glitchy details and electronic sparkles, contributing to the cosmic scale of the song. Influences for the song include Halsey, Hiatus Kaiyote Yebba, Jasmine Sullivan. The song lyrically encompasses the feeling of being stuck behind a wall put up by the other person in a relationship, and painting a fantasy of what could be if the wall was broken down, instead of turning around and walking away.
Grete was born and raised in a little Eastern-European country called Lithuania and started singing when she was only 3 years old. She began her young artist and performer career in small ensembles and bands and was quickly spotted and drawn to the biggest stages in the country, such as tv competitions, musical theatre, international concerts and contests, and even the finals of The Voice of Lithuania. Grete chose to leave Lithuania and start fresh in the UK. Now she is studying pop music vocals in RNCM. Influenced by artists like Jazmine Sullivan, The Weeknd and Yebba, she began writing vocally colourful and harmonically intricate songs with strong messages and old R&B references.
After the release I wanted to get in touch to see if you would feature it on your website/blog.
