Indy is back, and she's taking the road less traveled through heartache. Having set her sights on the pop firmament with the literally glittering Threads EP, the artist now has her sights on the next stage of her career with her newest single, "East Coast. " It is an uplifting and inexactly upbeat anthem that marries a bittersweet farewell to a codependent relationship to a production that has no business being this infectious.
Embracing the push and pull of a bi-coastal existence as a metaphor for love's inevitable distance, Indy combines poetic lyricism with dreamy, melancholic, alternating, masterful production. The result? A salty popsicle that sounds like sun-drenched nostalgia cloaked in a farewell note. "East Coast" glimmering melodies and vernal vocals construct a soundscape that echoes the emotional tumult of moving on wistful, yet liberating; heavy, yet weightless.
"East Coast" draws you into a realm where love and loss collide, a testament to Indy's knack for turning heartache into something cinematically beautiful. We're talking perfectly curated information in a way that earns her title as a real lyricist who doesn't just write songs but creates distorted spikes of emotional impression.
Alongside "East Coast," Indy is forging her lane in sad pop, marrying self-reflection with earworm hooks. If this is indeed the start of her sophomore era, have a seat because it will be a wild ride.
