Paradise by SOMA | REVIEW

“Paradise” by SOMA is a dance pop/deep house phenomenon for people who are giving up on or fighting life. The Swedish artist explores the melodic deep house genre landscape. Paradise can mean freedom, happiness, world peace, a drink by the beach, or an iced matcha. In this song, SOMA describes paradise as sanity in an insane world, or a calm in the middle of a storm. The music builds a race against time, and the buildup makes the whole journey worth it. The lyrics tell a powerful, inspiring story of finding paradise in this world. SOMA’s soft but strong voice controls the music’s direction. “Paradise” is available to stream on all platforms on May 22.
