Music is our fuel and for that reason we are kicking off a new section, “Discover Music” to embrace ourselves in a journey adding new songs to the catalog we listen to, expanding our horizons and hoping you can join us!
Honored to kick it off with Lo (Lauren O´Hara) and her EP (extended play) “Plan For An Independent Future” released on April 2020 containing 5 songs and about 20 minutes length that are worth to listen on repeat with the atmosphere she creates on the entire recording.
The opening track “It´s All On You” initiates with a clean guitar and Lo´s voice with a calm rhythm where after the chorus a drum sound kicks in speeding up this song about insecurities, attraction where no matter how one of the parties is or looks, has some kind of power against the other. The next track “Floating” was actually the first single released on February 2020, this time the lyrics take you on a mindful state wondering about where you should be?, or what type of rules you should follow; pretty sure we all have been in that crossroad at least once, not being anywhere.
Shaking things up, incorporating a rocker style is the song “Unclear” showing that she can combine other type of sounds. The second single was “The Dream” where the lyrics refer to that path in life in which we have certain objectives or goals, but we ask ourselves If we are there yet, given the struggles we face.
The last song of the EP is “Fiction” and particularly believe she closed with a fantastic song which includes her unique essence, the clean guitar, a lovely voice and slowly increasing the rhythm throughout the song engaging you more and more till something that is hidden inside comes to the surface, which clearly can be heard on the bridge-chorus part identified with the lyrics: “Who are you?, A phantom?, You´re Fiction, I´m crazy, When you´re here it´s all clear, And I need you to know, When the time comes and you´re done, I will let you go, I´ll shut off and power down, Just like windows, And place every piece of our time in the shadows, Every piece of our time in the shadows”.
Those words on Lauren´s voice combined with the musical elements I´m sure will make you think about that person which comes and goes on your thoughts but you want to forget for good, so remain fighting those ghosts till you face your expected brand new reality.
Keep an eye on Lo because her music in the future will reach out not only Australia, as this first set of songs is establishing a foundation for many more to come; till then, enjoy the ride of this bright “Plan For An Independent Future”.
