Girlhood step into a warmer, more reflective era with ‘Lemon Aid’, a beautifully breezy new single taken from forthcoming album ‘This Will Make Sense In The End’.
Led by Natalie Holmes’ tender vocal, the track begins with nostalgic piano, acoustic guitar and a playful sped-up sample before blossoming into wonderfully understated indie-pop. There’s an irresistible late-summer glow to it, capturing that moment when dancing, laughter and familiar surroundings can make life’s pressures briefly disappear.
Those everyday details are essential to Girlhood’s new world. Inspired by the cafés, parks, shopfronts and winding streets of Stroud, ‘Lemon Aid’ finds something quietly magical in ordinary life while introducing the album’s recurring use of food as a metaphor for love, desire and emotional appetite.
Gentle without feeling slight and nostalgic without looking backwards, ‘Lemon Aid’ is a gorgeous introduction to this reinvigorated Girlhood; delivering something sweet, soulful and glowing with the possibility that everything might eventually make sense.
