RáDIO Brumas Review

The sound emanating from Sheila Simmenes‘ hands carries the freshness of someone who understands music as a migratory entity. It’s not just a Norwegian flirting with foreign rhythms, but an artist who, after years of immersion in Brazil and a master’s degree in World Music, has internalized balance beyond technique. In Beautiful (Eloah Blú Remix), this background manifests itself in an organic transition between Scandinavian minimalism and global percussive vigor.

The track functions as a mirror of her own trajectory. If in the original version of her debut album, Love Was Easy (2021), the focus was on the vulnerability of jazz and soul music, here Simmenes herself—taking the reins of production under the pseudonym Eloah Blú—decides to investigate what happens when melancholy is invited to dance. The genealogy of the work points to names like Nicola Conte or the Jazzanova project, where the sophisticated harmony of jazz merges with electronic beats that respect silence and space.

Balance is the watchword. While the vocals maintain an intimate and almost confessional delivery, the organic instrumentation and trumpet textures elevate the song to a state of healing and movement. It’s a humanized electronic sound, far from synthetic coldness, that prioritizes the “groove” that makes your head bob without losing focus on the emotional narrative.

By remixing herself, Sheila liberates an idea that, as she describes, “was tingling deep in her heart.” The result is an elegant and transcultural piece of club music. Beautiful ceases to be just a song about what is beautiful and becomes a manifesto on the fluidity of musical boundaries, proving that Kristiansand’s jazz and the pulse of the Brazilian streets can, indeed, inhabit the same rhythm. It’s proof that musical production, when guided by sensitivity, is capable of transforming longing into celebration.
