Nea is a member of the Swedish psychedelic\/roots rock collective <strong>Children of the Sun<\/strong> but don\u2019t expect just an offshoot of that band. Instead of releasing similar music, Wilma Nea surprisingly stepped out into her own and released a pop\/rock gem of an album with the release of her debut full-length solo album, <em>This Too Shall Pass<\/em>. Maybe this isn\u2019t a surprise to people who are a part of her closer-knit inner circle, but to me, it was a surprise and a very pleasant one at that.<\/p>\n<p><em>This Too Shall Pass<\/em> is a seven-song sugar-sweet pop\/rock gem that checks off a broad range of some of my favorite pop\/rock performers. Elements of modern artists such as Sara Bareilles and Nellie McKay marry perfectly with unintentional \u201890s pop\/rock influences on the Jellyfish inspired songs &#8220;The Beginning&#8221; and \u201cDays Like This\u201d and the Frente! inspired \u201cPart of a Club.\u201d However, \u201cStoked\u201d just may be one of the best pop songs I have heard in a long time, tugging at my heartstrings with a hook so strong that it brought me back for several listens.<\/p>\n<p><em>This Too Shall Pass<\/em> is an album that took me back to a simpler, more carefree time when pop music was simple, imaginative, and fun to listen to. Wilma Nea created a body of work that is guaranteed to put a bounce in your step and a much-needed smile on your face. The world is a pretty heavy place these days, and <em>This Too Shall Pass<\/em> is the album we all could use to have in our ears and hearts.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Wilma Nea - Days Like This\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/959zxymOYWo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/?uri=spotify:album:1iPO58PZDg5BROFReZzDv0\" width=\"750\" height=\"950\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer\/Songwriter Wilma Nea is an artist that has had my attention lately, and rightfully so.
