The track is from the artist’s lauded and emotionally resonating new EP L
With the release of her brand new debut EP L (a collection of tracks that begin with the letter), JILIAAN does a really great job of showcasing the wealth of heart and appeal that she pours into her distinctive indie pop sound, underlining our need for connection in deeply personal and moving fashion throughout.
Aside from the stunning piano introduction ‘Lullaby’, the only previously unreleased track on the album is ‘Longing’, a track that sees the artist articulating her need for something to fulfil her and provide her with what she’s looking for, whatever that may be. There is a really jazzy and intoxicating feel to the instrumentation here and the vocal performance feels as thoughtful and stirring as anything you’re likely to hear anytime soon. The track explores the push and pull of wanting more but being reluctant to put yourself out there to find it, and its resonating and effortlessly captivating allure adds an understated sense of beauty and coolness to a track that could overwise be held hostage to its melancholy narrative.
