Hallelujah California är tagen från EPn Summertime med den Los Angeles-baserade Luna Shadows . Sångerskan bjuder på vemodig pop i stil med Lorde och Lana Del Rey och med melodi som sticker ut.
Här kan ni se den läckra videon till låten som nyligen hade premiär.
“My father used to say that Hallelujah ( Wainwright / Buckley rendition) was the saddest song ever written, mostly because it’s darkness was disguised in a major key; conversely, the sole uplifting praise word ”Hallelujah” was paired with the most melancholy of melodies. Playing on this juxtaposition, Hallelujah California is my eye-roll love letter to Los Angeles. The song explores how disorienting it can feel at times to live in a paradise, to have an endless summer, but still experience such sadness and doubt. There’s a nod to Beach Boys era nostalgia, but I mostly wanted to update the California anthem to reflect LA life outside of the classic retro surfing, coke-drinking, beach-going culture — and to include the blossoming east side artist renaissance of Silver Lake/Echo Park, the planetary views from the observatory, or the newly-crowded (but still palm tree lined) streets of revamped DTLA.”
