Swedish-Iranian R&B songstress Parasto Sazvar is back with her brand new single, “Elevate”, which came out on 17th January via all major streaming platforms. With its perfect blend of retro-soul influences and contemporary R&B, the track at once feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
“Elevate” is a richly textured soundscape, deep-diving into soulful falsettos and smooth melodies. The soulful, velvety vocals of Parasto balance depth and airy sweetness.
The dynamic production opens up, hosted by More-10 known for his work with top Scandinavian artists, to create a warm, textured soundscape rounded off by contributions from Mårten Lundqvist and Nils Rulewski Stenberg. This is a vibe reminiscent of 90s soul, with modern innovation infused into it.
Basically, “Elevate” speaks of trust, love, and hope. “It’s about trusting what you already have and daring to imagine a bigger, shared future, even if it’s not all figured out yet,” says Parasto.
This song is related to each and every soul seeking the balls to move toward a certain direction; it reminds us to just trust the process, choice, and possibility.
The single immediately took flight, finding its place on Spotify’s New Music Friday Sweden playlist upon release. If that wasn’t enough, a special remix featuring New York hip-hop legend Jojo Pellegrino is due for release soon. Pellegrino was sent Parasto’s music and immediately resonated with “Elevate”.
“Working with Jojo was an honor,” says Parasto. “He stayed true to the song’s core while adding a fresh, hip-hop-infused layer.”With its classic soul and modern edge, Elevate cements Parasto Sazvar’s status as one of R&B’s most exciting voices.
As she further bridges the gap between past and present, her artistry is bound to leave an indelible mark on the genre. Elevate your music taste with “Elevate” below!
