“It’s Over” is the standout single from Beatrice Eli’s new EP, It’s Over. The four-track EP was released this week in Europe but is still making its way to the U.S. Eli is the latest in the trend of Swedish pop stars like Lykke Li and Icona Pop crossing over to the American market. Based in Stockholm, she splits time in London as well.
Eli’s first single, “The Conqueror,” demonstrated her appeal and relatability as an artist. She pleads with her lover to stay over minimal production in a slow-building ballad. It’s a song about her struggle to maintain the relationship. The lo-fi video shows Eli walking down an alley alone on snowy night. Does it get more depressing than that?
Not this time; instead of a plea to stay, it’s a proclamation: “It’s over!” “It’s Over” is a break-up anthem you can dance and sing along with. The upbeat sound, as if she is excited to be done, only makes the track that much more relatable. Her voice is powerful yet playful, further taunting her ex-flame.
I hope you aren’t going through a break-up, but throw this on if you are — you’ll find yourself shouting “it’s over!” in no time.
