Lulu Simon has returned to release her new single, “Happy Again.” When looking at the quiet journey of healing, the journey of healing is not linear. When looking at the different journeys, our realizations that we’ve made it through to the other side is an experience filled with warmth and gratitude, something that “Happy Again” projects onto it’s listeners using both its production and song lyrics. A pop-folk emotional turning-point in Simon’s career, listeners are captured into the world where shimmering production, warm acoustic textures, and Simon’s intimate vocal delivery shine on this masterpiece. When looking at the new beginnings of Simon’s healing journey, it’s clear to see that she’s ready for what this new chapter brings.

When listening to “Happy Again,” there’s only one way I could use to describe my emotions when examining the ways in which Simon curates the song: it tugged at my heart strings. “Happy Again” is for listeners who may be on the final journey between learning to love again and the moment Simon experiences—the moment where everything makes sense again. Simon captures the moment perfectly, with upbeat choruses and reflective choruses that echo the non-linear aspect of the journey of healing. Through this deeply personal moment, listeners know that they’re not only connecting with Lulu Simon, the rising singer-songwriter, but Lulu, the person who’s experiencing this journey with them.
