LØLØ Release Today Debut Album "falling for robots and wishing i was one"
Today (June 7th) essential pop rock artist LØLØ shares her highly anticipated debut album falling for robots & wishing i was one. Unflinchingly honest and (sometimes painfully) relatable, LØLØ cements herself as a staple of the genre and a rising artist to watch on the 15-track LP. Packed with powerful guitars, witty lyricism, and compelling heart, falling for robots & wishing i was one agrees that to be loved is to be changed, just maybe not for the better.
Focus single “wish i was a robot” is the anthemic heart and soul of LØLØ’s debut. Calling back to the album title, LØLØ muses about how much easier life would be if she was a robot. The track’s instrumentals are gritty and metallic, seething beneath the surface as LØLØ modulates her voice on the verses to match the robotic tone of the thing she wishes to be. Watch the video for "wish i was a robot" below!
On the melancholic “intro”, LØLØ sets the tone for her debut project with the heart wrenchingly earnest lyrics, “I’m exhausted / feel like my heart’s getting rotten / I’d love to replace it with cotton / so I wouldn’t have to feel so hard.” Plaintive and direct LØLØ sets the stage for a debut that is vulnerable, raw, and pulls no punches. LØLØ changes gears, finding a gentle tenderness on the semi-acoustic “gloria”. The melancholy track tells the story of LØLØ’s love for a boy who was an unreliable narrator in their relationship. As she realizes that gloria, the track’s eponymous subject, is not actually the “other woman” but an innocent victim of her same circumstance, LØLØ uses “gloria” as a way to make amends. Shame mingles with sadness as LØLØ pairs stripped down vocals with a lilting acoustic guitar.
“thoughts from the shower” incorporates a bedroom pop sensibility with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. Amongst liquid acoustic-electric guitars LØLØ hides from the world. There is an underlying thread of yearning to the simple track, peeking through in LØLØ’s raw vocals. Sonically dark and rich “i would fix u if i could” is a powder keg of desperation, disappointment, longing and frustration. LØLØ’s artistic bravery is fully displayed on the visceral track as she gutsily shares her grief over the ending of a treasured relationship. The instrumentals are hauntingly methodically, churning beneath the surface of LØLØ’s powerful vocals before finally erupting into a wave of pain made manifest. LØLØ is shameless about her lingering feelings for her past lover whilst simultaneously iron clad in her boundaries.
“suck it up” is a classic pop-punk anthem that incorporates all the best parts of the genre. A crispy-crunchy guitar throbs alongside splashy percussion and punch vocals. Lyrically LØLØ is delightfully caustic, satisfactorily delivering one liners like “catch the lemons, spike the lemonade,” in her signature, throaty alto
