Helena Ros goes on a magical voyage in “Where I’ll Meet You”

Helena Ros's new single, "Where I'll Meet You," is one of those precious terrain vehicles that feels like entering a dream, one in which the riverbanks glisten beyond their shades, and the sea is more than waves on a beach.

Beginning with a metaphysical spoken word passage, the track wraps listeners in its delicate embrace, woven with a harmonium and haunting backing vocals that feel like they're filtering in from another impossibly connected realm. The ambiance is hypnotic, near meditative, until Ros deftly turns the world under our feet.

In a sudden, satisfying jolt, "Where I'll Meet You" trades its mystic haze for a thundering pulse that's impossible to turn away from. A pumping, dance-conducive drumbeat joins in, pushing the track into a groove that spans the decades in a tribute to the best of the '90s and early 2000s. The chorus is immediate, infectious, and gets stuck in your head long after the song has faded to silence.

The two styles, introspection and movement, storytelling and rhythm, are balanced by Ros. It's a song that beckons you to lose yourself, to find yourself, and maybe, to encounter her somewhere past the boundaries of the ordinary.
