The track is one half of her exceptional new two-track release if you start to resent me think of when we were 20
Following on from her lauded debut EP 1/4 Life Crisis, Lola Scott has wasted no time following up with the two-track follow-up if you start to resent me think of when we were 20, featuring the intensely intimate first track ’20’.
The track and project feels like a statement of intent from Lola, almost flexing her prowess as an artist by venturing into sonic landscapes that have been untapped in her previous releases. The track explores ideas of falling in love with someone from your past yet again, and while it’s follow up ’21’ serves as almost a sequel to this one, if only to shatter this illusion, as a stand-alone track, ’20’ is a rousing and often vulnerable and candid glimpse at the optimism and naivety that floods the early stages of a relationship.
Scott says of the track “I think it was something to do with the stillness of being in isolation that made me wonder what it would be like finding contentment in a very still calm lifestyle with one person even though I’ve had plenty of commitment issues in the past.”
“I wrote this song about someone that I had fallen back in love with after not seeing each other for over 10 years. He was one of my first relationships when I was in high school and we ended up back together when I briefly moved back to my small hometown during isolation.”
