“Så kom solen” was released, an encouraging new chapter for Siri Stray. She delivers a passionate original single, pairing upbeat melodies with a message that feels contemporary and universal. The song was written for the Unik book project and speaks volumes about Siri’s commitment to inclusion, equality, and the simple yet strong notion that everyone deserves a place to belong.
“Så kom solen” is not based on musical influences or trends, but on an idea. It’s a creative choice that gives the song a nice dose of genuineness, as its goal naturally peeks through without leaning on tired tropes. Siri composed the melody and words, crafting a song that strikes a nice combination of warmth and optimism, with a deep emotional punch.
Christoffer Simpson’s Norwegian Sound in Norway is a production that lifts the mood without distracting from the core of the song. Everything in the song is designed to make you feel welcome as you listen, and the good feeling of the piece is always right there in front of you. The result is a song that sounds bright, friendly, and emotionally sincere from start to finish.
What makes “Så kom solen” remarkable is its capacity to stimulate introspection, while being unquestionably fun. Its celebration of acceptance and common humanity never seems contrived, but flows with an easy sincerity that beckons all walks of life to identify with its optimistic outlook.
