Dutch artist la loye has unveiled a new folk-driven single called ‘i only hear you in my song’. Driven by gorgeous acoustic guitar play, the track is quite spacious in sound with la loye’s airy vocals effortlessly soaring above the instrumentation. ‘i only hear you in my song’ is the follow-up release to la loye’s debut song ‘i’m still asleep’ which dropped last year.
Touching on the track la loye mentioned:
“When writing the song I was in the midst of falling out of love. One day I just woke up and realised I didn’t miss the person I thought I was supposed to miss most, and I didn’t feel all that bad about it. I was walking on thin ice for a long time trying to avoid a confrontation, which I knew could only end in us parting ways. So the song isn’t necessarily a break-up song, but is far more descriptive of the ominous period before the big blow-out.”
