Bring yourself into the world of The Lovelines, where smoky vocals and highly professional songwriting combine to create an exciting blend of bedroom pop, dreamy textures, and jazz influenced flavours. From a collaboration of Tessa’s sweet voice with the instrumental skills of Todd, the duo has been getting a lot of attention in the independent music scene with their recently hit “Darlin'”.
“Darlin'” is a retro-modern love ballad, with neosoul, old school pop and trip-hop elements woven in so effortlessly. The rustic sounding, lo-fi- notched production provides a fitting backdrop for Tessa D’s mellow and pleading singing, while twinkling Rhodes, boom bap drumming, and supple bassline weave an airy soundscape.
The velvety Tessa’s voice is the center of the spotlight. “Darlin'” is an intimate and emotionally vulnerable track that draws the audience in its mesmerizing atmosphere and lyrical sincerity. The song elicits the outburst of these feelings that can be recognized by so many people.
They blend their smooth jazz instrumentation with some subtle trip-hop and come up with a sound that is both contemporary and ageless.
This track’s melody and lyrics, which are hard to get out of your head, will impact listeners and display a promising band to look out for.
