Awa - Obvious

Awa won Sweden's (unsuccessful stint of) the X-Factor back in 2012 and released her debut single in 2013. Now, she's back with the pop-bop 'obvious', written by Marlene and produced by the same guys that have done Loreen's latest stuff. 'Obvious' is dripping in British house beats and a clever use of distorted and layered vocals. See what you think.

Awa recently performed a beautiful acoustic version too, if that's your thing you can check it out below.

 

It is a nice little song.

 

It is a really pleasant background bop.

 

Nice chill pop track, though not blown away.

 

I think this is gonna be a creeper.

 

My ongoing obsession with this song is testament to this. Top 10 of the year so far for me.

 

I'm already hooked.

Her voice is really strong, and I love the subtle vocal effect on "it's so awa-awa-obvious".

 

I'm bordering on obsessed. Yeah, the vocal inflections through the song really bring it to life. The vocal production in general is top notch.

 

She won our contest, too!

(I like-don't-love it.)

 

I gave her my top score and I don't regret it.

 

I gave her a point, and I don't regret it either!

Still sounds about right!

(And by all this I mean I do like it... don't get me wrong!)

 

After a 2 year hiatus (!!!!) she's back on an EDM feature
