We can’t get enough of this beautiful song “Cold To Me” from the Sweden duo Rallie & Coal. Upon hearing this song for the first time we got hooked immediately. The atmospheres of this record are dark and unique and the chorus is nice, the vocal performance is very professional, we have enjoyed the lyrics and the catchy vocals. The melodies of this song are unique and very enjoyable and the production choices are great. We don’t mind replaying this song million times without getting bored at all.
WHAT THE DUO SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“I think the chorus is where I come to relate to myself the most. In the past, I’ve had a tendency to lose myself just a little when I get into a relationship. Having been single for while now and really enjoying my own company and independence, going into a relationship is scary. I want to keep my independence and can almost feel myself get the urge to run early on if things get a little difficult. In the moment that seems easier than to fall for someone and risk getting hurt, using the need of independence as a mere excuse to fuel my actions.” Rallie.
ABOUT THE DUO:
Rallie & Coal are an artist & songwriting duo from Sweden, focused on pop music. Working closely during the whole process, Rallie & Coal each provide their unique skills to create a distinct sound of their own. They are often conceptual in their writing, letting inspiration flow with an aim to tell a complete story in each song. Their influences include everything from the Billboard sound of Max Martin and beautifully composed lyrics of Julia Michaels, to the moving melodies of John Mayer.
Rallie & Coal first met while studying at Musikmakarna, a world renowned school for songwriting and music production located in the North of Sweden. They worked both separately and together during their time at Musikmakarna, but with Rallie’s knack for lyrics and Coal’s skill for melodies they found that they complimented each other and could push their songwriting to achieve new heights. And so Rallie & Coal was born.
Rallie
Born in New York and growing up in England, Rallie first discovered her passion for music while attending a school for the Performing Arts in London. She played a part in several musicals, even earning the lead role in “Hairspray” at the age of 12. Growing up, Rallie played tennis at an elite level and set music aside for a time to focus on her goal to play professionally, eventually becoming top 10 in Sweden. At the age of 17 she started back on the road that would eventually lead to Musikmakarna, choosing her passion for songwriting and performing over tennis. After high school, she studied at SAE and worked in retail, all the while keeping music in the forefront of her life. During the spring of 2018, Rallie would be accepted in to Musikmakarna and as a consequence she got to work with names such as Kristian Kostov, Benjamin Ingrosso, Joy Deb. Right now Rallie’s doing an intern at Symphonix International, a sub label under Universal Germany.
