MUMBAI : – Pop-punk powerhouse LOLO shares her tender new track “*snow in berlin*”. Filled with melancholy sweetness, “*snow in berlin*” is an ode to the naive hope that lingers in every unrequited love story, as LOLO chronicles the dissolution of a sacred relationship gone bad.
Sensitive and stark, “*snow in berlin*” showcases LOLO at her most lyrically vulnerable. Frosty acoustic guitars and a hauntingly simple bass line makeup the entirety of the track’s instrumentals. The noticeable absence of percussion helps add to the loneliness and longing that LOLO feels as she draws comparisons between the stark fragility of winter and the ending of her once blossoming relationship. Even amongst her sadness, LOLO clings to an earnest piece of hope as she sings, “I kissed someone new / that’s just how it goes / but when you hear this / I hope that you know / ooh / I was rooting for you / ooh / I’m still rooting for you.”
LOLO says this of the new track: “The first time I ever visited Berlin on my first ever Europe tour, it was snowing the type of snow you only see in Christmas movies, and it was one of the prettiest things I had ever seen! After living in LA all year, I hadn’t seen snow for a while, so it was a very beautiful moment. I wanted to write a song to remember that moment, of feeling something so special for the first time in a while. ‘*snow in berlin*’ is about a couple of people who experience that same kind of special feeling from meeting each other. But as fast as that snow can come down, it can also melt just as quickly – the song goes through their different relationship stages, from falling in love, to breaking apart almost as fast.”
