Norwegian artist Mathias SB introduces himself with "Echoes of Us," a four-track debut EP that moves between pop, electronic music, EDM and more experimental sounds.
The release opens with "Let's Raise a Glass," an upbeat pop song written with Wanja Hamre during Rena Song Fest.
From there, the EP takes a very different direction with "The Dragons Are Gone."

The EDM track draws inspiration from a journey through medieval China and features the pipa, a traditional Chinese string instrument.
Mathias also includes an instrumental version of the song, giving the production more room to stand on its own.
The final track, "Turbulence," slows things down. Built around guitar and a more relaxed pop sound, the song looks at the difficult periods that can test a relationship without necessarily bringing it to an end.
Together, the four tracks show different sides of Mathias SB.
The EP can feel energetic and made for dancing in one moment, then cinematic or reflective in the next.
That variety is part of what makes Echoes of Us an interesting introduction to the Norwegian artist.
Based in Hønefoss, Mathias SB is a singer-songwriter and electronic pop artist whose music combines personal lyrics with strong melodies and energetic EDM production.
His influences include dance-pop, festival music and Norwegian party music, but his songwriting remains focused on memorable choruses and emotional storytelling.
