Sometimes a crowded party can feel like the loneliest place in the world. Laughter, music and dancing surround you, but you can’t help but feel out of place. Holly Hebe captures this familiar feeling in her new single, ‘life of the party’. The song holds an upbeat, dreamy rhythm, despite being comprised of emotional undertones and hard-hitting lyrics. This composition of bubbly instrumentation contrasted by heavy lyricism almost reflects the genuine “party” experience where expectations never seem to become reality. Holly illustrates the drawbacks of the true party lifestyle by presenting honest lyrics such as, “getting ready for the crowds to come, make a mess, then leave”. The single offers listeners a taste of emotion and confrontation with reality, while maintaining a groovy beat that makes you want to dance around your bedroom.
Holly Hebe’s new single, ‘life of the party’ blends the modern indie-dream-pop sound with notes of early 2000’s punk rock. Holly’s delicate soprano voice gives the song an ethereal vibe that beautifully balances out the guitar and drum instrumentation. The inclusion of synths and distorted vocals provide a unique, electronic and futuristic sound. The single’s catchy chorus features Holly’s alluring voice, accompanied by an electric and bouncy percussion. Holly’s passionate lyrics take this song from a fun bop to a form of personal and creative storytelling. ‘life of the party’ is the lead single off Holly Hebe’s upcoming debut EP, ‘Party Mix’. According to Holly, audiences will get to hear more raw emotion in two of the EP’s songs, ‘Edith Street’ and ‘hardpilltoswallow’.
