What is known about Alma Elste? Well she's a 22-year-old currently living in Paris and "Heart Melter"—premiering below—is her debut track. Oh, she also has great eyebrows. We've got nothing else to go on, so it's best to focus on this luxurious song. What begins as doomily atmospheric—with Elste's dusky tones occupying the same candlelit space as London Grammar's Hannah Reid—surges forth before a minute hits with a chorus that's as thrilling as the moment when you look into someone else's eyes and free fall.Elste elaborates: "'Heart Melter' is about the mellow moment when you know something could be possible with someone you have a crush on, the moment you want to go on a life time holiday with that person and leave it all behind."What can be gleaned from this? Press pause on life and repeat on this track and call that certain someone and block off a day of nothing and go into airplane mode. On a Monday, or any day for that matter, that sounds like heaven to us.
