Lila Forde's latest single, "Home," was penned after revisiting her childhood house as an adult. The track is a love letter to the people and places that have given her life meaning. "Home," with its eclectic mix of indie folk, Americana, and folk-pop, is equal parts deeply personal and broadly relatable. Forde's voice bears the candor of someone reflecting, not regretfully but thankfully.
The lyrics are a love letter to her upbringing, while the instrumentation is organic, rootsy, and textural, grounding the song in honesty. Recorded in the studio by her band and produced by her brother, the song's intimacy is undeniable. The performance is so alive, it's as if you are being invited into that room where those takes were made. It's a level of connection that can happen only when the music springs from something real.
As Forde launches a hometown tour, "Home" is both a celebration and a statement. It's a way of informing us who she is, where she has been, and what comes next. That's a declaration of self, one that makes clear this is an era of clarity and artistic maturity. For anyone who has ever been formed by a place, by a family, or by the memories that lie within the walls of an old house, "Home" will resonate. Lila Forde's "Home" is a heartfelt journey back to where things began and ahead to what's yet to come.
