“…love song to humanity, a ballad of hope: LAUREN LAKIS – We’ll Be Fine
Lauren Lakis – We’ll Be Fine is available at Spotify, Apple Music.
by Walter Price
In a world full of dismay and unrest, fear-driven uncertainty….there’s also a parallel space in which Florence Welch, Murmur Tooth, Lana Del Ray, and now Lauren Lakis soothe us into hopeful calmness. Lakis’ new single “We’ll Be Fine” is a rooted shoegazer that has its origins reimagined to fit today’s trying new world. Shadowy and earthy, this track is this summer’s ethereal shining light…
“As we’ve gone through this pandemic, it’s become a sort of love song to humanity, a ballad of hope. We’ve been given a unique opportunity to pause and go inward, where shadow exists alongside light. There is fear and grief and uncertainty, but ultimately I have faith that we will be fine, maybe better than “fine” if we choose.”
And the DIY video, a nature lovers dream, is just more beautiful icing on the cake. And you can stream the single and witness the film now at GTC.
Be safe out there…
