As people across the globe begin to emerge from quarantine, trying to find some semblance of normalcy, there will plenty of lessons learned and many observations. And hopefully there will also be a greater appreciation for those who have been soundtracking our lives in these turbulent times.

One such artist is Norway's Ruben Dawnson. He previously caught our attention in February with his single "FYALMA," which stands for "fuck you anxiety leave me alone." Now, he has released his full debut EP, titled Echo Emotions.

The six-track project is a remarkable listen from a young artist who deserves to be on your radar in the coming months. His EP is hard to pinpoint, as it wanders effortlessly between glossy pop, flickering alt-rock and even into vulnerable hip-hop territory, as evidenced by his song "I Don't Wanna Be Alone."

"This is a very special and introspective project for me, a product of reflections and thoughts built over several years," says Dawnson. "Itʼs about confronting your true self, learning and acknowledging your inner fears ... Learning to be honest. Realizing itʼs okay to tell people. Opening up. Discovering new sides of yourself. Lessons. Change. Growth yet stillness. Itʼs raw, direct and as honest as it can be. Fear, mortality, loss, loneliness, anxiety, sexuality—hope and love. This is the truest expression of me in my moments of existence."
