Norwegian pop star Sigrid dives into vulnerability and longing with her dreamy new single, 'Jellyfish' - a shimmering, slow but upbeat track that marks a slight but recognisable evolution in her sound. 

Known for her energetic, empowering anthems like 'Don't Kill My Vibe' and ''Strangers,' Sigrid dives into her soft side, allowing emotion to drift in like a tide rather than crash like a wave.

The track is hazy and atmospheric, with sparse synths and a liquid beat that mimics the drifting, unpredictable nature of the creature it's named after. Lyrically 'Jellyfish' captures that frustrating emotional in-betweenness - "If you go dancing, I'll go dancing too" Sigrid compares herself to a Jellyfish, quietly drifting after the person she loves in the hope of being noticed - a subtle metaphor for emotional vulnerability and unspoken language. Her vocal performance is light and vulnerable but still precise, making every word feel intentional.

There's a quiet sadness in the track, but also a mature restraint. It doesn't beg for answers or resolution - It simply lets the feeling exist. That emotional ambiguity is where 'Jellyfish' shines. It feels like dusk: not quite day, not quite night.

The release suggests Sigrid is expanding her emotional and sonic palette with quiet confidence, 'Jellyfish' is a delicate yet powerful reminder of her ability to translate complex feelings into beautifully restrained pop. With soft synths, poetic imagery, and a tender vocal performance, she captures the drifting uncertainty of love in a way that feels both intimate and universally relatable.

It's a subtle shift, but one that signals growth - and if 'Jellyfish' is any indication of what's to come, Sigrid's next chapter might just be her most emotionally resonant yet.
