New single "Follow Me" by artist Lamia explores the overpowering nature of love and how all else is abandoned for the sake of it. It explores relationships that consume your entire being and how this love may be dangerous, and that even when the smart move is to leave, you find yourself frozen. The song itself is a fun dream pop track that thrives with its dynamic guitars and vivid imagery. "Follow Me" understands what it's like to be taken over by someone you love to the point where you no longer think straight, almost as if you're under a trance. The song repeatedly highlights the blind faith that love entices and it does it in such a magical manner. The beauty of "Follow Me" is how easy it is to connect to those emotions being sung, to recall all those moments where you found yourself being drowned by love, unable to swim away.
"Follow Me" is slightly whimsical and this unique nature is what immediately draws you in when you press play. The lyrics do a great job of portraying the urgency of the speaker, painting the dependency of this relationship and how it's completely taken over. As the song progresses we hear how the speaker has completely let themselves go for the other person and they become so desperate to know if the situation is the same on the other side. When thinking of the guitars on this track the first thing that comes to mind is the term "pretty," because they sound so sweet and vivid throughout "Follow Me." Same goes for Lamia and her performance, filled with such emotion, her voice soothes and entrances. The chorus feels very cinematic and this specific section really helps listeners walk in the shoes of the speaker, almost as if we are experiencing these overbearing emotions as well. Lamia has such a way with words, her lyrics haunt listeners with their transparency, perfectly relaying this all-consuming relationship. With this track, Lamia comes across as a very unique and interesting artist you can see yourself falling in love with only one track.
Lamia is an artist originally from Dresden, Germany who first released music in 2022. She takes inspiration from artists like Daughter and Halsey, which can definitely be heard in her own work. Lamia's style of music definitely makes audiences feel like they're living in a dream-like state, everything feels so fuzzy and abnormal, in a good way. For this single Lamia had the opportunity to work with her partner to create this story and this information only makes the listening experience much more enjoyable. She holds a lot of pride for "Follow Me" because she was also able to record and produce this song in her own home. Overall, it's nice to see how much fun Lamia had making this track with those she holds dear, because it's always important to remember to enjoy the process of making art. Currently, Lamia is working on an EP that is expected in the summer so keep your eyes and ears wide open for that.
