Indie pop-rock singer-songwriter LOLAH hits the music scene full force in her latest single “Dreamer”, an anthemic powerhouse track about following your dreams.
LOLAH – Dreamer
LOLAH ‘Dreamer’ is filled with heavy guitar riffs inspired by the “hippie era of 70’s rock” and powerhouse female vocals. Her guitar melodies and vocals play off of each other to create melodies that play again and again in your head after the song is over. Her rhythms are fun and diverse, lending different momentums to verses, chorus, and bridge.
“Dreamer” is an inspiring track about dreaming and not being afraid to take chances. She uses metaphors and creative imagery to illustrate her story while also being straightforward in her chorus about the meaning. LOLAH writes about “dreaming until all her dreams come true”, which is exactly what she did in her own life. LOLAH began her career in dentistry and recently decided to pursue her dreams with music full time.
LOLAH has played with big names such as The Vaccines, Frank Turner, Antigone Rising, and others. She enjoys putting on high energy performances for audiences. She released her debut album in 2019, her first fully self-produced album. LOLAH credits inspiration to One Republic, Rolling Stones, Adele, and Lady Gaga to name a few.
LOLAH “is inspired to use her poetic calling and create music that subtly narrates striking stories, and at the same time represents her iconic musical range and grasp over numerous genres. Using music as a form and medium for empowerment.” - Right Chord Music
If you are looking for the declaration of love par excellence, at the beginning of the year, here it is!
Originally from Vietnam and now based in San Jose, California, LOLAH is an artist who already has a career that makes you dream.
She was able to share the stage with Frank Turner or The Vaccines.
"Memories" is much more than a song.
So well written, the song is more like a magnificent poem, set to music and illuminated by a warm and delicate melody.
"I want to move these twinkling stars in the night sky, and fate writhes in our hands, together we dance on the moon," she sings in the chorus.
With a voice slightly reminiscent of Sarah McLachlan, she gives us a very clean performance, with very professional arrangements and a production that matches her talent.
Gorgeous lyrics + marvelous melody + haunting voice = perfect declaration of love.
We couldn't have dreamed of a better way to open this new year under the sign of love and beauty.
A little gem to savor in our Spotify playlist "January 2020". - Indie Music Center
