Brisbane Tayla Young has won my heart with her new single “Lorelai.” This is such a gorgeous track, full of vulnerability and longing. The stripped-back acoustic sound ensures you can really tap into those flirty, honest lyrics.
“Lorelai is a lot more light-hearted than what I usually write about. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s about a one-night stand or casual hook-up, there’s a bit more to the story. But it’s definitely about having very little expectation of somebody. It’s basically just me trying to convince someone cool and uncomplicated that I’m cool and uncomplicated too, which is definitely a lie but one I probably believed at the time,” Tayla explained. “We had a lot of house parties in 2020, which is how I imagine the context of the track, so I wanted the mix to sound fun and summery, like a Hottest 100 party type of vibe. I really like the bridge; the bridge is cool; I reckon I nailed It lyrically.”
Tayla has cemented her reputation as a talented performer playing her own headline gigs and supporting talents including Kim Churchill and Emily Wurramurra. Give her Facebook page a follow for details of more shows from her really soon.
