The Swedish-American singer-songwriter Lexi Berg is set to step fully into the spotlight as she shares her new single ‘Into The Sea’, alongside its official video. The powerful track is the first release under a new deal with the Warner Music UK label EastWest Records. 
 
‘Into The Sea’ is a moody ‘70s-tinged widescreen soul-pop ballad that takes fresh inspiration from the classic song-writing and astute musicianship of the likes of Fleetwood Mac and ABBA. Composed at the piano in Jimmy Hogarth’s studio, the song draws us in with dramatic and mournful strings, amplified by Lexi’s Berg soaring and soulful vocals and haunting harmonies. ‘Into the Sea’ embodies Lexi’s emotional depth through her lyrical and melodic gift for merging sorrow and joy.
 
Lexi said, “Swedes have a mystical relationship to the sea,”  “In the summer, we have the ‘morgondopp’ ritual: getting up early, putting on our bathrobes and clogs, and heading out into the sea whatever the weather. I think everyone who spent lockdown in a city felt a particular appreciation when they escaped into nature. I hope this song moves the listener and reminds us of nature’s ability to heal and restore us emotionally with its magic,” she added.
 
The official video for ‘Into the Sea’ follows Lexi’s escape from a concrete world to a wild and unspoiled coast of the waves and water. It was directed by Drew Cox (Jorja Smith, Plan B), Drew depicts Lexi’s own emotional journey into nature, through the shift from muted colors to richer tones.
