Follow Kim Dekker
This song brings back memories of the bands that made us drift away in the late 90s and early 2000s, like The Cardigans or Hooverphonic. A light voice that can still carry strong emotions even without great power. And musically, that’s something special.
Kim Dekker, from Switzerland, has that gift, and she does it all on her own. Playing with contrasts, she moves within a folk-pop world similar to Allison Leah and delivers in this new single a sharp mix of nostalgia, bitterness, and emotional attachment that leaves us wondering one thing: how far can our mind take us in our addiction to someone else? And how do we break free?
Simple yet very well produced, this little catchy tune will grab your attention and stay in your head for hours.
A perfect one to keep on repeat all summer and beyond.
Kim’s take on “You Again”
I wrote and recorded You Again during a five-day songwriting retreat in a remote cabin in Entlebuch, Luzern. It was part of a mountain session with my friends and collaborators Mattia Ferrari on drums and Giuliano Sulzberger on production and guitar. On the surface, the song feels light and easy to move to, almost carefree. But behind that is a story about finding yourself drawn back into something that isn’t good for you, just because it’s familiar and comfortable. I wanted to show that mix of knowing it’s not right, yet still going back, and to wrap it in a sound that makes you want to listen again.
