Omar Rudberg has topped off a week which included a nomination for the MTV Awards by dropping latest single ‘She Fell In Love In The Summer’.
A dreamy track with sun-kissed production, the Young Royals star tells the story of a young lover struggling to find their place in the world.
The stripped-back effort follows Claudia Neuser collaboration ‘Call Me By Your Name’ and last year’s confident debut album OMR.
‘She Fell In Love In The Summer’ sees Rudberg lean once more into an airy production to showcase silky vocals seen on tracks such as ‘Mama’ and ‘Breathe’ from last year’s record.
The single lands with an accompanying music video which racked up over 25,000 views in just eight hours and includes an exclusive acapella moment from the star, who was named as one of CelebMix’s Ones to Watch for 2023.
Fans reacting to the video online labelled the track “absolutely amazing” and said “my jaw literally dropped” as they watched the music video.
One follower said: “The lyrics hit me deep down in my heart. Thank you Omar for putting words on a subject that isn’t easy to talk about. I fell in love with your voice once again.”
It’s been a big week for the 24-year-old who was announced as a nominee in the Best Musical Moment category at the MTV Awards for ‘Simon’s Song’.
