With the light and airy style of Kacey Musgraves and the glowing, lovestruck haze of Liang Lawrence’s very own, “Out Loud” is the best new track for your romantic Fall playlists. The song blends love languages through its lyrics with a desire to connect with a specific person on a deeper level of conversation, and cravings for physical intimacy. It also brings up all those excited nerves that are bound to come up when exploring something new. Liang’s verses are packed with determination, as the speaker boldly shares their intentions with calm folk vocals drizzling confidence over the lyrics “I’m about to blow your mind.” The chorus continues the delightful assertiveness, emulating that need to share everything about yourself at the beginning of a relationship. Then comes authenticity with the lyrics, “spilling out my head onto the floor”. This shows those magical times where you’re sorting the jumbled archives of your brain, through favorites and firsts to tell. Even though your words may come out messy or in a spill, that eagerness to share doesn’t go away. This song is so expressive, and truly takes listeners into the new love mindset.
Liang’s music blends genres, bringing folk, pop, soft rock, and a bit of country into this uplifting love song. Her breathy and light vocals create an intimate sound. Musical phrases through the verses make you feel the song’s happiness and wanting. Her voice glides up high notes and has a light warmth in lower notes, which tickles the ear with just the right vibe. Instrumentals build and ebb through the song, with guitar instrumentals bringing a classic folk accompaniment to the verse, while percussion and electric guitar join in with the chorus. The bridge uses altered, soft electronic vocals to repeat the lyrics “if I could say this out loud” in between Liang’s high and smooth response. The end of the song gets looser, like the lyrics are floating away into high and angelic vocalizing.
