MUSIC: Lauren Aquilina - Low

I can always remember when I first discovered Lauren Aquilina. I'm not going to take credit it was because iTunes were promoting her single at the time and I decided to check out the release curious by her breathtaking artwork. Since that moment, I've followed Lauren's career and always look forward to her next instalment.
Today comes the release of single, 'Low'. Depicting perfectly how it feels when you're down in the dumps and you don't know how to find your way back to that happy place you once was at. The lyrics are incredibly well written as I usually find with Lauren Aquilina.  I find that you cannot listen to her music without feeling every single emotion she felt whilst creating such a wonderful piece of art. There's a subtly to her music but it also stands out on its own. With such simplicity to her music, she has a voice that screams star quality and for someone who is so young it blows me away everytime I hear her.

'Low' begins by very minimalistic when it comes to the music starting with what only sounds like a heartbeat and a scratching of an old record. The track stays like this until the second chorus when a deeper tone is introduced and builds into a something very magical sounding and into a crescendo. Similarly Lauren's voice follows this and towards the end of the track her voice shows off how talented she is. She's created a nice balance of alternative and pop sound to this single. Showing vulnerability and a lot of emotion, 'Low' is quite possibly my favourite track by the young singer.

You can listen to Lauren Aquilina's new track on Spotify now or download it from iTunes.
