Berlin-based neo-soul artist VANDALISBIN embraces a dreamy, heart-stirring moment of temporary love with her sultry new single “Gentleman.” This title track from her EP, out via Inselgruppe, captures romance’s raw, precious beauty, the kind that plays over the muted hours following an unforgettable night.
Set against the bittersweet and cheerful backdrop of a moody autumn morning, “Gentleman” is like a private admission murmured into an atmospheric hotel room. Haunting and minimal, with nothing but her guitar and her soul at its most exposed, VANDALISBIN has created a painting of yearning, an ode to the unknown nature of blossoming attraction and the thrill of an almost stranger that has been etched into your mind.
The greatest strength of the song is its simplicity. There’s no overproduction, bells, and whistles, just VANDALISBIN’s soulful, velvety voice breezing over thin strings. The honesty in her delivery makes “Gentleman” feel like it was pulled directly from a diary entry, granting listeners a front-row seat to the fragility of any human connection.
What’s so compelling about this single is how it naturally evokes that intoxicating stage of love, where reality and imagination seep into one another, where one evening can give rise to a lifetime of potential. “Gentleman” is a sensation, a delicate reminiscence specific, a gentle breath of yearning that echoes in the heart of anyone who has ever been enamored by a moment that passed too quickly.
With “Gentleman,” VANDALISBIN shows she’s an artist to keep an eye on. She can distill raw emotion in each song, creating deeply personal stories yet feeling met with the universal as she continues to carve her lane in the neo-soul world. VANDALISBIN’s poetic expository allows you to immerse yourself into her universe, a world that revels in the beauty of flaws, openness, and whimsical evenings of potential.
