The artist continues to showcase her appeal following the success of debut single ‘Lie’.
Following the breakout success of her stunning debut single ‘Lie’, DOLL has returned with her stirring follow up ‘Poser’, an introspective and dark new release about the emptiness and falseness that can come with trying to be someone and presenting yourself as such.
It is this darkness at the core of the sound that makes it feel so intriguing and beguiling, from the artist’s intoxicating and captivating vocal performance to the emotional weight of the lyrics. There is something that feels quite unsettling about the nonchalance of DOLL’s delivery as she delves into a narrative about emotional voids and people lacking in any kind of sense of self-worth or love. The track is a glimpse into the ugly underbelly of celebrity culture and the idea of “making it”, and conveys its point in a powerful and transfixing fashion that sticks with you for long after your listen. If you like your pop with a dark edge and a palpable, underlying sense of intensity, then ‘Poser’ is something to find yourself deeply immersed in.
“At its core, the song is about loving someone who can never really seem to love themselves, and the toll that emotional void takes on you.” DOLL remarks on the inspiration behind her sophomore single, Poser. “No matter the source, insecurity is an intense motivator. Sometimes you don’t realize until it’s too late that the person you’ve fallen for is really an illusion.”
