Danish composer, producer, and multi‑instrumentalist Nils Lassen unveils his new single “Somersault”, the second chapter in the unfolding narrative toward his upcoming album Rain Steam Speed. Where May’s introductory single “Under Your Spell” lingered in nocturnal tension and suspended emotion, the new track turns its face toward something lighter, warmer, and unexpectedly open.
“Somersault” is a song about losing balance for a heartbeat and discovering clarity inside the fall — about closeness, recognition, and those rare intervals when life briefly feels simple, unguarded, and real again.
Built on steady, unhurried rhythms and soft currents of guitar, the track carries Nils Lassen’s signature cinematic subtlety. It drifts between motion and stillness, holding a delicate equilibrium: summer light, open air, and a sense of hovering just outside of time. Rather than pushing toward resolution, “Somersault” chooses to remain inside the moment, and that quiet restraint becomes its emotional centre.
With this release, Lassen continues shaping the sonic and emotional contours of Rain Steam Speed — an album woven from dream‑pop textures, darkwave undertones, and a gentle, persistent melancholy.
