And Lola Young is leading the way. The 22-year-old singer-songwriter, new album “My Mind Wanders And Sometimes Leaves Completely”, has marked a new era in her music with the release of this album. With a distinct sound that combines elements of folk, indie pop, and alternative rock. The new music style and lyrics are thoughtfully crafted, and infectious.
With Annabel’s House Lola has stepped out of her comfort zone and is testing her writing ability with a sharp and distinctive edge to her lyrics.
The new Album is out in May in the meantime, you can hear Lola’s latest release ( also on the upcoming album), Annabel’s House, which deals with mixed signals and the pitfalls of unrequited love. The song was written in the Key of G minor, which delivers a melancholic sound. The song deals with coming home from a party at Annabel’s House and realising the person she desires, who has spent the evening looking at his girlfriend while she watches him. Then the midnight phone call that’s answered way too quickly for her own good, and she realises that she hates the fact she might say I love you to the guy who says he wants her and then spits in her mouth.
The Lyrics are raw, the sound is fresh and layered, and we look forward to hearing the rest of the album. For now, you can hear Annabel’s House on the Hot 100
[Verse 1]
Too many drugs in my system, system
I tell a joke, you don’t listen
I fucked the punchline anyway
Your phone wouldn’t charge
Too far to walk with no car
In that shirt, you’re breaking my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And you’ll call me up again at 12 o’clock on a Friday
And I’ll answer way too quickly
And I hate that I might say that I
Love you, I do
Love you, I do
Love you, I d[Chorus]
Back from the party
At Annabel’s house
You tell me you want me
And spit in my mouth
I don’t say your name
When your girlfriend’s around
You say she can tell
She can tell
She can tell
So, never gonna let it out
Never gonna let it out
I’m never gonna lеt it out
[Verse 2]
I crossed your name off my wishlist, wishlist
I know it’s none of my businеss
But are you with her Saturday?
Some tears I don’t show
You’re a dick and you know it
You’re the best and you blow it
[Pre-Chorus]
And you’ll call me up again at 12 o’clock on a Friday
And I’ll lie to mum and David
And I hate that I might say that I
Love you, I do
Love you, I do
Love you, I do[Chorus]
Get back from the party
At Annabel’s house
You tell me you want me
And spit in my mouth
I don’t say your name
When your girlfriend’s around
You say she can tell
She can tell
She can tell
So, never gonna let it out
[Bridge]
They’re playing Havana
I hated that tune
I swear it don’t hurt
You’re looking at her
I’m looking at you
You’re getting the words wrong
But you’re making it cute
I swear it don’t hurt
You’re looking at her
I’m looking at you
[Outro]
Never gonna let it out
I’m never gonna let it out
