Victorian musician EVANGELINE is back with her first release of the year. Fresh off the success of her recent collaboration with Donatachi on his single ‘Do What I Want’, this gal is serving us some new and exotic electro-pop.
This lush sounding track draws you in with a warm and uplifting feeling, but ultimately carries you on a journey through love and loss. The Aussie crooner uses her Lana Del Rey-esque voice to take us through what she describes as 'a song written about the cycle of a relationship'; starting as strangers, becoming one together, drifting apart back to strangers and finally holding onto someone who is already gone.
Written towards the end of a breakup, all of the emotions and turmoil are reflected in Evangeline’s brooding soundscape, as she notes, “the chorus is closure, the cycle of when someone who was once a stranger becomes your world and then they become a stranger again.”
Behind that beat that makes you want to bop along, is a very personal tale of an emotional journey. Most of us know all too well the intense mix of feelings that can come from being in a relationship, making this track something anyone can relate to in some way.
