Serene captivates on heartfelt single, "Lovely"
It’s about time! Serene is back with her first single release of the year on a stunner titled “Lovely”. Not to sound too corny, but it is absolutely lovely in every sense of the word. Please read along for our full review of the track and a refresher on the artist.
It’s been a little while since we last covered Serene when she dropped her hypnotizing single, “Run the Night”. Thankfully though she’s back and at peak form with the fresh release on “Lovely”. Everything that she’s been up to so far has lead up to this moment and for those that have been following along with Serene, she’s absolutely stepped it up a notch here.
We got a bit of background on the song from the artist herself in which she let us know, “Have you ever been stuck in that illusive “talking phase”? As good as you feel with that person, all you really want is to define the relationship. Lovely moves through these thoughts of excitement, confusion, and impatience where you’ve been “playing for so long... waiting for someone to be the strong one”, eventually progressing to the point where you understand where you’re at in that relationship.”
As you can tell from the message and the lyricism as a whole, there’s clearly been some life experiences that have been had recently. It’s always so respectable when instead of wallowing in one’s sadness, the artist takes that pain and translates it into a new piece of beauty in the form of a song. “Lovely” does just that and shows off Serene’s strength and skills to make that transfer of pain into creativity.
For a fairly clear cut R&B track, there’s still so much atmospherically that’s happening here that takes it from good to great. Whether it’s the vocal presence, background tones, or all of the above, the song is a clear winner and another example of perfection within Serene’s discography. It’s a track that we’re quite obviously going to have to recommend, but also an artist that if you’re not already following along, you should start now.
