George Lyons is starting the summer with a song that demands windows down, volume up, and zero regrets. His new single, "LOLA," is a flirty pop-rock jam that falls somewhere between memory-fueled 2000s cool and the indie-pop aesthetic we're all currently obsessed with. Lyons, from Waterford, Ireland, can access raw emotion while never overcomplicating things.
"LOLA" is a coming-of-age anthem that belts you in the face with bite-sized and catchy hooks, cheeky charm, and just enough grit to make you smirk. It's early 5SOS meets Dominic Fike, folded with Irish lyricism and wit, like what Lyons offers on this one. The heart of "LOLA" is a love song, not one that sugarcoats or idealizes. It forgives flaws, cherishes imperfection, and goes out on a limb. There's youth in the lyrics and delivery that will make you want to fall headfirst into something reckless, romantic, and honest. That kind of track immediately drops you back into late-night drives, impromptu summer hijinks, and shouting choruses with your best friends like nobody is watching.
Lyons's hard-earned swagger is all over this, giving every beat here an energy charge. LOLA makes everyone feel like they're back in that magic pocket of time where everything felt like it could be the start of something you'd never forget. The first of four singles leading into an EP this fall, "LOLA" is a bold, hook-heavy track with heart and attitude. George Lyons is making a path of his own in the pop-rap, indie-pop world that doesn't take itself too seriously while creating a deep connection. If "LOLA" is any evidence, this Irish upstart is here to soundtrack your summer and perhaps your next crush.
Absolute banger ! Really is a windows down in the car song !
