Award-winning singer and songwriter Rebecca Lappa returns today with a fabulous new single that deserves your attention.
Serving as a taster to the artist’s upcoming ‘Tales of a Taurus’ EP (out 5th May), new single ‘Lolita’ showcases an energising fusion of indie, pop and rock. Detailing the inspiration behind the song, Lappa says:
“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.”
Having amassed hundreds of thousands of streams, Lappa is rapidly marking her name as a Canadian talent to watch. Tastemaker praise for Rebecca comes from the likes of Beats Per Minute, Atwood and Lock magazines.
