The Vildes unveil new single, Manicure for the Strangers

The Vildes have just released their new single, Manicure for the Strangers, which is a sleek pop-electronica track that turns everyday beauty routines into metaphors for emotional defense. Layers of glossy synths frame lyrics about performance, guarded intimacy, and the quiet distance we keep while revealing ourselves.

The Oslo trio balance vulnerability with restraint, pairing reflective songwriting with melodies that linger long after the chorus fades. Created through remote collaboration and shaped in Bergen’s electronic pop hub, the track follows their debut with confidence and clarity. It confirms The Vildes as a songwriting-driven project, merging heartfelt storytelling with a distinctly Scandinavian electronic sensibility that feels intimate yet polished and compelling.
