Hailing from Athens, Greece, Nefeli On Clouds, an Alt-pop artist, and her collaborator Alessandro will enchant you with their heartfelt latest single “Twenty-Seven”. Merging the songwriting of Lorde and Lykke Li with the production nuances of Radiohead the duo infuses this new release with a sense of eternity.
Nefeli may refer to a fragile, sensitive and intuitive woman and alludes to the tender songwriting displayed in “Twenty-Seven”. You can’t help but listen to the track while picking apart its unique production flourishes to marvel at how together all these musical layers create a textural sonic experience.
Nefeli On Clouds’ “Twenty-Seven” is an intricate exploration of songwriting and varied instrumentation conveying the heady feelings of falling in love. Depicting feelings of intense infatuation and beguiling beauty, the production crafts a diverse sonic palette, skilfully blending electric elements with precision.
It’s restrained approach then allows the singer to take centre stage. Nefeli’s vocals, a powerful instrument in their own right, convey emotional depth, creating a celestial mood that adeptly balances melancholy and tentative hope. “Twenty-Seven” which alludes to an actual date of love, feels like you’re hearing it during the twilight of sleep. With its airy, haunting soundscapes and reserved use of guitars and keys “Twenty-Seven” creates a fantastical world. Moreover, the song showcases Nefeli’s artistic passion for creating moody songs that vibrate with emotional intensity.
Nefeli’s exploration of human connection through lyrics is solid and the narrative feels purposefully elusive. The song, at its heart, is one about intimacy and connection. Refined and delicate Nefeli On Clouds sounds like a siren calling to all the lovers out there. The European songwriter and her partner have found their niche in delivering a delicate cinematic ballad that is hypnotic.

Their debut single One is a sonic exploration of the exhilaration and insecurities that accompany the early stages of romance.
