Thomas Dybdahl is a Norwegian folk singer with a soft tone and acoustic sound. His new single is Cecilila produced by Last Suppa Recordings.

‘Cecilia’ (Ash Howes Radio mix)

This remix by Ash Howes is a little more upbeat than the original and has changed the acoustic folk sounding track to a pop more mainstream sound. The track has an easy listening tone, a steady acoustic strum alongside Thomas’s soft tone.

The track features a repetitive chorus and the lyrics are very metaphorical. They paint a beautiful picture of a girl who is reluctant to love. I prefer the original because is feel that not only does the remix change the sound to a more pop mainstream sound but also take away from Thomas’s soft tone that suits an acoustic tone. His voice is a little lost because the music is much louder. However his voice inviting and has a very subtle beauty.

‘U’

‘U’, is another track from Thomas Dybahl. I prefer this track to ‘Cecilia’, its very soulful. Once again Thomas’s soft tone compliments the subtle composition of a steady drum, keys and horns. The track is a hopeful pouring of his feelings. IS passionate and romantic but not as obvious as a rhythm and blues sound. The composition is beautiful very emotive and uplifting and the lyrics are short but meaningful and very colourful in the sense that they paint a picture. I really like this track; it prefect for easy listening and engages your very subtly.
Thomas has a great unique blend that mixes his soulful voice and the acoustic folk compositions. His lyrics are also very emotive and engaging without too many words.
