If there’s anything you should know about me, it’s that I absolutely love romantic comedies. Classics like 13 Going On 13, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, and 10 Things I Hate About You are some of my absolute favorites. So, when I found out I was assigned a song that referenced almost all of the classics, I knew I was going to love it. And I was right! “ROMCOM” is the latest single by singer and songwriter Laura Rizzotto, and it is such a fun listen. The song blends classic rom-com tropes with the feeling of falling for someone. The lyrics were super fun, I got to essentially try to guess which romcom she was referring to in each lyric. I wouldn’t be surprised if she managed to combine at least 20 of them!
This song was super cute, and I think the beat and instrumentals worked great with the lyrics! “ROMCOM” was produced with the help of only women, which I love! This includes Grammy winners like Ali Stone, Jett Galindo, and Maria Elisa Ayerbe. When I first listened to this song, part of the beat reminded me of “Saturn” by SZA. But then it exploded into its own thing that sounds so unique and amazing when paired with the incredible lyrics Rizzotto wrote. I also like how she included parts at the beginning and the end, where it’s just her speaking. I think it breaks up the lyrics in a great way, and made for an even balance of lyric and spoken word. I really loved it.
Laura Rizzotto is an LA-based singer and songwriter. She is also Latvian and Brazilian, and you might recognize her from her run in Eurovision 2018, when she represented Latvia with her song “Funny Girl”. Risotto gets nearly 5,000 monthly streams on Spotify, and “Funny Girl” has around 2,000,000! You may recognize her for some of her other popular hits, like “The High”, “Symptoms”, and “Papaya”. She released her debut album, Reason to Stay in 2014, and has been taking off ever since! She has even shared the stage with artists like Demi Lovato, Colbie Caillat, and more! I loved every minute of this song, and the serotonin it filled me with. I thing I need to go rewatch some of these classics now. Go stream “ROMCOM” everywhere, today!
