"I'm so excited to share this beautiful reimagining of In The Sound of Breathing by George FitzGerald. His ability to expand the emotional language of a song while staying true to its essence is something I deeply admire," Loreen explains. "With this remix, he’s opened up a whole new dimension of the world we created with SAGES, it feels both intimate and expansive at the same time. That’s the magic of collaboration, when another artist brings their energy into your universe and something entirely new is born."
“We’re so happy to have had George take this challenge on. Dance and freedom of expression is a core component of the SAGES world and this, a track made to dance to, feels like a natural extension of that,” Ólafur Arnalds adds.
The release of the remix follows the release of the complete SAGES EP, including recent track, "Unknowing".
Accompanying the music is a powerful short film for "In The Sound Of Breathing / Opening", directed by Thora Hilmars and starring Loreen, with a cameo from Ólafur. Inspired by the surreal historical tale of the Dancing Plague of Strasbourg, the film reflects the project’s central themes of freedom, catharsis, and creative abandon. “After working on this, I realised—this is what creating should feel like,” Loreen says. “No walls, no compromises, just pure expression.”
