Pop-punk powerhouse LØLØ shares a new fiery song on heartbreak, “u & the tin man”. Stark and uncensored, “u & the tin man” is a vicious rebuke of a past lover who LØLØ cleverly compares to the Tin Man from the classic film The Wizard of Oz.
Of the track, she says: “When I moved to LA, I realized I was not in Kansas anymore. I eventually met someone who hit me like a tornado and left just as viciously. The Wizard of Oz has always been my favorite movie growing up, so I thought it would be fun to compare my situation to someone who didn’t have a heart, like the tin man. Except, at least the tin man was trying! This is one of the first songs in a while that I wrote completely by myself, so it feels very special. This is also the first song I ever wrote for my debut album and I’m VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT!!”
Alongside the release, LØLØ is announcing her debut album ‘falling for robots and wishing i was one‘, arriving June 7th via Hopeless Records. The new single “u & the tin man” represents LØLØ’s forthcoming album’s emotional apex. Strumming an acoustic guitar, LØLØ delivers incredibly soft and affecting vocals. The distinctive lack of percussion further adds to the bold juxtaposition between the softness of the music and the fierceness of the lyrics until the pressure is unbearable and erupts into a soaring, powerful outro.
“u & the tin man” follows LØLØ’s reflective breakup tune “poser”. Known for her biting directness and no-holds-barred authenticity, LØLØ continues riding the line of contrasting ideas on the vulnerable track, writing caustic lyricism against a solemn sonic backdrop where grungy, understated guitars meet chilly cymbals to mirror LØLØ’s feelings of loneliness and confusion. “2 of us“, the first single of 2024 is inspired by her struggle to cut off a toxic ex.
