From Berlin, singer-songwriter Konni Shivers, aka I Shiver, has just released the soft indie vibes of “Backseat.”
In case you are new around here, we have featured everything that Konni has sent our way. His knack for producing ultra-chill, folksy pop gems is seemingly unmatched and we are always thrilled to see his name pop up in our stack of submissions. With “Backseat,” listeners get another tasty slice of his intimate brand, with a robust, acoustic guitar-driven arrangement and a rhythm that slightly edges toward cheerful.
The subject matter, on the other hand, rests securely within our melancholic wheelhouse, revealing the helpless and lonely position of having no control over where life is going. And with lines like “Give me the hurt– I’d rather feel something than this emptiness,” we have a feeling that his multilayered, Novo Amor-esque delivery is bound to deeply resonate with those of us facing a quiet, yet profound sense of despair.
“Backseat” is the kind of song that will pair well with those late night drives to nowhere– it is gentle and introspective and effortlessly weaves its way into your brain until you forget about everything that ails you. That said, it also serves as a reminder that with all the pain in the world, no one truly suffers alone. You can now spin it everywhere you get your music and you can connect with I Shiver here: Instagram | Spotify | Facebook | Bandcamp | YouTube | TikTok
