Out now, ‘quiet CONFIDENCE’ provides us with a stepping stone into Oslo-based Mathilde SPZ‘s bold artistic universe, a place built on contemporary alt-pop and electronica, heavily geared towards dance music and club-ready bangers. The EP in question is the perfect evidence of that, a five-track wonder full of evocative late-night anthems and EDM-like euphoria.
‘quiet CONFIDENCE’ particularly blooms for its highly reflective outlook, with the Norwegian songstress exploring what it means to be truly confident in one’s own body, not being afraid of showcasing who you really are. This is then woven into a relationship saga, as we follow Mathilde SPZ in various emotional stages and romantic dynamics. It’s not a conceptual EP per se, but there’s a strong overlying thematic push tying it all together.
Delving deeper into the personal and relevant lyrical ethos that guides the song, Mathilde explains: “To me, ‘quiet confidence’ means being secure enough in yourself to dare to take up space when you want to, without feeling the need to do so just to prove something to others. It means having the courage to acknowledge your strengths without arrogance, and your weaknesses without shame. It sounds like a comfortable way to live, something I hope to achieve fully one day…”
