Nearly a decade after releasing an album, Loreen returns on "Feels Like Heaven" and is less a comeback than a gentle rousing. Janhe's song is the latest offering from her forthcoming third studio album, "WILDFIRE", which has the emotional heft of an artist who's clearly spent her time away returning with purpose
"Feels Like Heaven" feels right at home in Loreen's catalog of introspective, enveloping pop music, but it also expands it. Co-written with Sia and shaped by producers Jesse Shatkin and Calum Landau, the song plays into exposure as a source of power. Instead of grasping for spectacle, the song unfolds with patience, letting its thoughts of surrender, freedom, and emotional safety breathe. It's a lesson that, in some situations, the most powerful stance may come from release rather than from push.
The song explores how our internal selves are shaped into reality. It holds that resistance creates suffering, while surrender brings healing, empathy, and clarity. This sensibility flows through the track like a steady heartbeat, giving it a meditative depth that lingers long after it fades. "Feels Like Heaven" isn't eager to impress, it asks us to slow down and sit with ourselves.
The experience is visually enhanced by a music video helmed by Neels Castillon, which makes the song even more cinematic and directly reflects its emotional availability and inward-seeking nature.
Off WILDFIRE, a project that also features "Tattoo" and "Is It Love". "Feels Like Heaven" is further proof of an artist at one with her emotional bearings. Loreen's return isn't about taking back space, it's about remaking the way that space is imagined from the inside.
