With a beautiful and inspiring track such as this one, the upcoming E.P ‘Tales of a Taurus’ that is out in May, it’s clear to see that this is one artist to keep an eye on.
The previous release, ‘Blue-Lips’, showed off Rebecca Lappa’s talents in the indie-pop world and this new offering provides a reason for her to stay in that space.
From the addictive chorus to the beautifully written lyrics, the Canadian artist brings all the right ingredients of a banger into this wonderful little cocktail of indie bops.
‘Lolita’ takes inspiration from the 1955 book written by Vladimir Nabokov. A tale full of love, lust, and sinister situations. A craving for control and wanting more in life is what the track and book is about.
In this writer’s point of view, Rebecca Lappa is bringing something different to the genre and the new track needs to be listened to right now.
Rebecca Lappa: “The song touches on the two main characters in the book alluding to the forbidden nature of the relationship between an older man and a much younger woman and the frenetic dynamic between the two. The muted guitars fill the track with urgency and the heartbeat of the kick drum lends commentary on the perceived sexuality and innocence of young women as interpreted by male audiences, while the careful layering of synth and harmonies leads to an anthemic chorus.”
