Erika - Velvet City Nights (1985) |

Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Erika Sundström emerged in the late 1970s. With her seductive voice, and magnetic presence, she lit up dance floors from Stockholm to New York.

“Velvet City Nights” is Erika at her most mysterious and magnetic. A slow, seductive city pulse. Neon lights flickering on wet pavement. Heels clicking in the dark. Erika’s voice glides through it all—cool, confident, a little dangerous—half-spoken, half-sung, like she’s letting you in on a secret.

The song pulls you into a late-night world of glances, shadows, and unspoken rules.
Every beat feels like the rhythm of the city itself—hypnotic, stylish, impossible to escape.

This is the soundtrack to slipping into something bold, stepping into the night, and letting the city decide your story.


Lyrics:

[Verse]
Streetlights hum
The night’s alive (oo-yeah)
Echoes bounce
Sharp heels collide
Neon whispers
Secrets glide
Velvet city
It pulls me inside

[Prechorus]
Shadow games in mirrored halls
Who’s the player
Who’s the fall?

[Chorus]
Velvet city nights
They’re calling (calling)
Velvet city nights
I’m falling (falling)
The pulse
The beat
It’s hypnotizing
Velvet city nights
So mesmerizing

[Verse 2]
Laughter fades through alley smoke (uh-huh)
Strangers glance
The air’s bespoke
Lines are blurred
The words provoke
A touch
A spark
The code’s unbroke

[Prechorus]
Windows glint with stories untold
Danger dances
Silver and gold

[Chorus]
Velvet city nights
They’re calling (calling)
Velvet city nights
I’m falling (falling)
The pulse
The beat
It’s hypnotizing
Velvet city nights
So mesmerizing
