Comment: In 2018, Swedish musician SATRE took a leap of faith, leaving his homeland to chase his musical dreams in the bustling heart of London. He honed his skills as a street performer, belting out tunes in iconic locations like Trafalgar Square (you can even find some videos on his YouTube channel!). His dedication paid dividends, and in 2022, he started releasing his own music. This month, he dropped a gem called “Homebound,” an uplifting folk-pop track that will have you digging into his back catalogue in no time.
“Homebound” evokes the same sun-soaked vibes as Vance Joy, The Lumineers, and The Strumbellas, thanks to its jangly guitars and banjo flourishes. But SATRE’s got a distinct, husky voice and a personal touch that give him his own sound. The lyrics paint a picture-perfect road trip with loved ones, all wrapped in a catchy melody that’s impossible to resist.
If you’re a fan of feel-good folk-pop, SATRE is an artist you need on your radar. “Homebound” is a fantastic introduction, and with more music on the way, he’s definitely someone to keep an eye on!
