Heartsick
Lloren
Impassioned and euphoric are both elements of true infatuation and also the two elements that are weaved into the very fabric of Lloren’s latest release, Heartsick. Exploring that short space between meeting someone and the point at which you are either rejected or accepted, the song leans hard into it’s sentiment of infatuation, creating an exposed and raw atmosphere of true feeling.
As the song fades in it already creates a strong atmosphere through minimum use of instruments. Combining a twinkling synth effect with the sustained ring of keyboard the effect captures you and holds your attention, seeming to say, ‘Something bigs about to happen, and your going to want to hear it’.
As the song comes back round to its opening note Lloren’s voice fills your ears along with a steady yet soft bass drum that gives the song a feeling of momentum. Which is paid off when the chorus kicks in creating the feel of real joy, as though fireworks are filling your mind. It’s pacing and arrangement almost mimic the racing of the heart, the building of the emotion as you prepare to open up to someone, or embrace your infatuation. This mirroring of both music and subject is sometimes a difficult thing to achieve but Lloren manages it with seeming ease.
Alone, the arrangement and brilliant use of light and shade in the song would stir up emotions with ease but with the addition of Lloren’s easy and powerful delivery of her own words the song is elevated to another level entirely. With each line you are able to paint a picture in your mind of someone about to take that leap into the unknown with someone who they are entirely infatuated with. It is definitely final scene of a Hollywood romance worthy. The sprint to the airport, the meeting beneath a star lit sky, the impassioned plea in a packed church, the song encapsulates it all.
Overall the song is a timeless piece of Cinematic Pop that wears its hart on its sleeve and tries to put into words the feelings that the music emotes. With a steady confidence growing from previous release success and a debut EP on its way in 2921, this song is the perfect piece of evidence that Lloren is an artist to watch out for. So add it to your playlists now and enjoy yourselves a slice of joy in this crazy world.
