Swedish Singer-Songwriter Many Voices Speak Announces Sophomore Album ‘Gestures’; Shares New Single “Seat For Sadness”

Swedish musician Matilda Mård, the voice and mind behind Many Voices Speak, has announced she will be releasing her second album Gestures on April 29th via Strangers Candy. Following the success of her 2018 album Tank Town, Mård is set to continue her sweeping dream-pop appeal on the upcoming collection. Leading the way is the new single “Seat For Sadness”, a song that shows her growth as a songwriter into more personal and reflective territory.

“The verse of this song kind of came to me all at once. Then it took quite a long time until I got the rest of the song out of me”, Matilda recalls, “I lived in Berlin at the time and rented a piano room at a music school, and most of the hours spent in there I was searching for the rest of the song. It wasn’t until me and Petter Nygårdh had started recording the album back home in Sweden, that I came up with the melody that would become the chorus. The new chorus pushed us in a new direction by making the whole song require something more. We had only brought a small part of the home studio to a country house to escape the noise from the neighbour’s renovation, but we found an acoustic guitar in that house that ended up being an important part of Seat For Sadness, and later on an important part of the album as a whole.”

With a heavy focus on her lyrically abilities, “Seat For Sadness” is a moody and poetic track that reflects on the inevitability of sadness and the moments it seems to creep in regularly.
