This edition of LITM Pop Picks brings to you South Asian pop, stunning pop-rock, and hopeful indie-pop. The list features artists Lorraine, The Domi, and Shravana.
Lorraine - I Feel It
Balancing a sound between pop and rock, ‘I Feel It’ by Norway based band Lorraine gives you the best of both worlds through its sound. The instrumentation is very 2000s pop-rock, with its electronic beats and stunning guitar work and dynamic drum patterns. The opening electronic beat that lays the foundation for the tracks arrangement is a very iconic sound, one that you can quickly recognise. The vocals in the song have the perfect balance of melancholy, resilience and yearning, something that is very hard to come by in today’s music. Give it a listen and you will find yourself hitting the like button within seconds.
The Domi - Tiny Light
Giving a tune to the resilience that defines the existence of a human being, ‘Tiny Light’ by The Domi is a reminder that at the end of every tunnel, no matter how endless it may seem, there is a light waiting for us. The instrumentation leans towards an indie- pop sound that does not try to overdo its production, and instead maintains a consistency and simplicity that allows for the light to be on the message of the track without it being diffused. The vocals are right between them feeling like a conversation with a friend and like reading something moving in the pages of a book.
Shravana - Golusu
Celebrating the force that is a woman’s femininity, ‘Golusu’ by Shravana is a Tamil track that will have you thinking why you did not come across the track earlier. With super magnetic electronic beats clubbed with South Indian musical traditions, the production will have its melodies embedded in your head in no time. The track will have you moving and grooving, irrespective of whether you understand the lyrics or not, because vibes do not need to be translated: they are simply understood and absorbed. Embodying confidence and celebration of all that it takes to be a South Asian woman and makes a South Asian woman, this song is thoroughly enjoyable and will have you sharing it with your fellow female friends in no time.
