Released by alt pop singer songwriter Liang Lawrence, the acoustic tune finds a way to be heart wrenching but upbeat. With a title like “Eulogy”, it might not be what you’re expecting, but the song proves to surprise in a good way.
Most recently, Lawrence released “Indefinitely” in February, alongside songwriter Riley Pearce, which followed her successful debut ep Letters to Myself, which racked up over one million streams.
“Eulogy” is reminiscent of Lawrence’s own admitted influences such as beabadoobee, boy genius, and Clairo. However, Lawrence puts her own spin on this acoustic alt pop blend with her unique lyricism which aims to question the relationship the song aims to mourn.
In the chorus Lawrence ponders the relationships worth as she manages to paint a clear picture in so few words. The song itself is inspired by her chance meeting with a former partner just months after their break up. While Lawrence wanted to capture the pain of a break up through music she also aimed to “make fun of just how dramatic it all feels in the moment”.
Evaluating the song, Lawrence clearly completed what she set out to accomplish, creating a slightly tongue and cheek, but still meaningful, break up song. In essence, it’s hard to find another song that compares well in both tone and style. Most recently, Lawrence performed at The Lexington in London for BBC Introducing alongside Alfie Templeman and Siobhan Winifred and will follow that up by supporting Alfie Jukes at several of his shows this month.
“Euology” is available on all streaming platforms.
