May is in full swing, and summertime is just around the corner. Plans are being made, yet we are still searching for this year's feel-good hit of the summer. That song you play on road trips or the one you hear at your favorite bar and rush to pull out Shazam.

Enter stage left, emerging Swedish electronic artist Killen. His latest release, “Love You Better,” is a captivating fusion of synths, unlike anything you've heard before. The track oscillates between soothing, ethereal, and cosmic. Every few bars offer a change in soundscape, a fresh layer of hooks that command your attention from beginning to end. It is sonically entrancing, and the addition of vocals by Oaks is the perfect marriage of voice and melody. The track's highlight is the final high-energy crescendo of synths and chopped vocals that hit you like a wave of serotonin. “Love You Better” engages your emotions, and the infectious rhythm mirrors the sentiment within the song—the addiction to companionship. Just as the track references the memories you replay after a relationship ends, you will find yourself drawn to hit that play button and run it back again as soon as the track finishes. 

After several features and remixes, Killen. has proven his talent with both of his latest singles. The transition to a standalone artist can be tricky, but with “Love You Better,” he is proving that he has what it takes, and it is crystal-clear Killen. is looking to stand on his own and create music like you’ve never heard. So, this summer, when you are on the open road or out with friends, whether dancing to remember or dancing to forget, this track should be heavy on your rotation.
