“Paris in the Snow” by Kat Reinhert is a romantic track that transports the listener into the charming winter wonderland of Paris. Vivid imagery and lovely vocals invite the listener in as pretty acoustic guitars and the classic accordion playing often associated with Paris create a beautiful landscape. If you’ve ever longed to experience love in Paris, Reinhert gives you a sonic version of that dream, and it feels like you’re right there in France without ever having to leave your bed.
With lyrics describing the classic landmarks and scenes associated with Paris, like the Eiffel Tower, the romanticization of the city is at an all time high. Picturing a snowy night settling over the historical streets of the city feels like a snow globe in song form. Reinhert shows her love to both the city and her partner in this track, with lines like “I love you in the cold” and “I love you with every ‘je t’aime’ I say” simply and beautifully stating how important this other person is to her.
With lighthearted and playful delivery of French words throughout the song, combined with the light and enchanting storytelling, “Paris in the Snow” is a great love song through and through. Warm vocals and fluid melodies meander over steady rhythms and twinkling production. The line “coffee and croissants and you” tells us that even the most mundane things seem magical in the context of Paris, and in the context of this love. Everything becomes shiny and exciting when you’re with someone you love in a place that seems separate from reality.
