German artist and singer-songwriter Redundancer just released a super tasty new single, “Lemon Ice Cream,” and it’s gotta be exactly what your ears didn’t realize they were longing for.
It has that shine of wistfulness that only Bella can nail on the head. “Lemon Ice Cream” is a brief blast of youth, bittersweet memories, and that soft ache of memories served up in an infectious pop package. From the opening notes, the track seeps into your brain like its title, smooth, a little tangy, and completely irresistible. Weaving playful synth textures around a lounging rhythm, Redundancer’s latest effort combines contemporary indie playfulness with an emotional undercurrent that strikes a nerve both softly and deeply. Bella’s voice flits from fragility to comfort with ease, creating a universal vibe that hangs close without smothering. It’s the kind of song you can cry to on a rooftop or dance to barefoot in your kitchen.
“Lemon Ice Cream,” at its heart, is more a mood than a love song. There’s an aching rawness here, an echo of lingering sweetness after something has melted. Bella has an appreciation for simplicity. Instead, she leans into understated storytelling and feel-forward production to let the feeling of it breathe. And breathe it does.
