Some songs arrive at exactly the right moment. A year ago, I stumbled into Gigi Wilde's world of hazy summer lullabies and folk-leaning storytelling and instantly felt at home in it. The song? "permission". It somehow feels fitting that almost exactly a year later, her new single found its way to me, carrying that same quiet magic.

Wrapped in intimate melancholia and a lingering sense of darkness, "do you still smell like jasmine" unfolds with remarkable closeness - the kind of song that doesn't simply play in the background but quietly occupies the room with you, as if Gigi herself were sitting just a few feet away, telling the story in a near whisper.

The track brings me back to some lonesome Berlin days from a decade ago, in a beautiful way. If you want to feel the song to its fullest, don't miss out on the official music video below.
