Vinsten - Luckiest Girl


Luckiest Girl by Vinsten got a lot of attention as the theme for a Swedish web-series a couple of weeks ago. That has now led to a contract with a record label for Vinsten(a duo consisting of Calle Wachtmeister and Niklas Benjaminson) and the release of Luckiest Girl as a single, while they're working on a upcoming album.
We definitely understand why they got a contract, because this song is pretty brilliant, if we may say so. It's a southing ambient electro record with a vibrant pulsating beat in the background. Add to that a beautiful synthesized melody and emotional melancholic male vocals. Oh, how we love these kind of tunes! It reminds us a bit of Lady by the electro/house duo Modjo. Maybe it's the vocals and the tempo and monotonic beat(here not a bad thing) of the songs that makes them both ideal to have on repeat.
The only we could wish for now is for someone to make a stellar remix of these wonderful vocals.
Lyrics after the jump.





Lyrics
"Take me to your side let me stay on the sidewalk
Traffic building up not a safe walk home
The luckiest girl on the planet

Luckily i saved some crackers in my pocket
Every nickle spent chasing jackpots, I´m
The luckiest girl on the planet

Talk to me now tell me whats wrong
How can I change if you go

Tell me something I don´t know
Tell me something I care about
Give me something tonight
Give me something before I die

Write it down every second is a love song
Traffic building up walking through the cold
The luckiest girl on the planet

Some of them are blind and some are just lonely
Either way I can´t let you be afraid
The luckiest girl on the planet


Talk to me now what´s going on
How can I change if you go

Tell me something I don´t know
Tell me something I care about
Give me something tonight
Give me something before I die

I will never be afraid if you stay
I promise I will never be afraid if you stay
I will never be afraid if you stay
I will never be afraid if you stay

Tell me something I don´t know
Tell me something I care about
Give me something tonight
Give me something before I die"
