There have been quite a lot of music artists who have chosen to use the stage name Maps<\/strong> isn’t there?It’s good to see that this newly emerging Swedish singer-songwriter has thought about this and astutely put a “Where is<\/strong>” precursor in place, to eliminate confusion. The Stockholm newcomer arrives with an enthralling debut by way of synth decorated effort “Never the Same<\/strong>.” And instantaneously excites my ears with his soothing style and impassioned lyricism. <\/p>\n

This song is subtle in its styling and is all the more alluring for it. Where is Maps<\/strong>, immerses us into a sonic soundscape of lushness. Where blissfully soothing, electronic tones radiate with warmth and the honest lyrics are painted with poignant imagery. The track is as compelling as it is comforting. Chilled, loungy beats are used to scale up the emotion of the song, which is itself etched, with feelings. Strange as it may seem a comparable styling-wise, draws me towards “Somebody Else”, The 1975’s<\/strong> most emotive led effort to date.<\/p>\n
