Lovina Falls - "Light and Low"

Lovina Falls, the new musical project of former Mistle Thrush singer Valerie Forgione, has a new single out that expands on their baroque pop sound. While other recent singles have moved more towards the alt-rock of Forgione's former band, "Light and Low" is more along the lines of Lovina Falls' first few singles. There is still plenty of rock in this new single, making it land somewhere in the middle of rock and pop. It's also much more fast paced than we've heard from this newer project, creating a swirling sensation that almost forces the listener to want to dance. Lovina Falls have mostly been a laid back band with more chill songs. "Light and Low" is their first that requires the audience to move, and that demand gets more and more intense as the song progresses.

Valerie Forgione says of her latest single:

"'Light and Low’ is about recognizing that as time goes on, it’s ok to let go of old and 'historic thinking' to create a new path through and out of the Thicket of Now. It’s about knowing that when things change, the path is not predestined. Change the change. Move with conviction but head gracefully into the unknown, light and low.” 

You can watch the video for "Light and Low" below. Lovina Falls is planning on releasing their sophomore album later this year. For more on Lovina Falls, check out the artist's website. There is a single release show tonight at Deep Cuts in Medford, MA with The Daylilies and Roser.
