German singer DALEE has been on our radar ever since 2019 (with her amazing "Supernova").

6 years later, she keeps on going strong, and today, she dropped a new soulful gem called "Apple Tree" - "a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, and the challenge of letting go".

The song was written on a train after DALEE decided to end a relationship. She explains, "It is a bittersweet realization that sometimes, love isn't enough to keep two people together". One of the first lines of the lyrics says it all - "...this happy sadness..." - it's not that simple, neither evoking just only sadness nor relief.

"Apple Tree" is both melancholic & warm but seems to be carrying rays of hope, especially in the uplifting strings at the end. A reminder that it will all be okay in the end.
