The track is the fifth and final one from their upcoming EP Like Forever.
With a lush, understated soundscape and a poignant subject matter that feels steeped in both emotion and a real sense of gravity, latest LAWRN single ‘Best Friend’ may just be the most touching and vulnerable moment from the outfit to date.
The track is about losing your best friend, and the conversational nature of the lyrics makes it feel personal and direct, with the stripped-back nature of the synth-led sound only serving to amplify the intimacy. There is a delicateness to the sound, and a deftness and clarity to the message that means that the track can resonate with listeners who have experienced similar feelings of heartbreak and loss. ‘Best Friend’ is a really thoughtful release that showcases how less can often be more in terms of creating stakes and drawing out emotion from a sound.
