Lovers In Revers

Following two acclaimed collaborations with Danish Daycare, Tobias Borelius—operating under the moniker Emerald Park—is ready to set a new chapter in motion. "Lovers In Reverse", the lead single from the upcoming album of the same name, is set for digital release on June 1st. The full-length album will follow on August 9th. The project began three years ago with a specific vision: reimagining a selection of Tobias’s Swedish-language releases for an international audience. While the core melodies and lyrical themes remain recognizable, the songs have undergone a significant evolution during the process. The title track, "Lovers In Reverse," originated as the Swedish song "Tidigt i Maj." While the seasonal reference has shifted to the "first day of June," the atmosphere remains intact. It offers a beautiful vignette of Malmö in its early summer splendor, capturing a love story that is either just beginning—or perhaps quietly unraveling. Musically, "Lovers In Reverse" picks up where the previous single "A Song To C" left off. It inhabits a wistful, cinematic, and expansive soundscape that invites the listener to drift away. However, this new offering leans into a slower tempo, allowing for more prominent, textured guitar work to take center stage. Critical Praise for Previous Release A Song To C: "The overall atmosphere gives this an almost pastel-y visual or a dreamy camera-bloom." — Lost In The Manor (UK) "...it feels reflective and warm, like standing by a window at dusk, grateful for the light inside. Personal, collaborative, and emotionally direct..." — Illustrate Magazine (US) "...excellent indie pop sound, which goes along with impressive electronic textures...It is not just another love song, but rather a hymn..." - Berlin On Air (Germany)
