The track is just the third solo release from the exciting emerging artist.
On her colourful new single ‘facebook official’, Mara Liddle opens up about her journey onto adulthood, exploring themes like independence, comfort, relationships, and the internet in a way that feels relatable and instantly recognisable for people that reside in our modern era.
The modern pop feel to the sound has an energetic electronic pop feel to it, something that makes sense when concerning a narrative of how influenced by the internet we are as a society. In the age of social media and staged interactions for clout or likes, the idea of love can often feel like something foreign or distant, and this idea that relationships are less than or don’t exist until they are published online can often trivialise them and make them lose meaning. The thoughtful nature of Mara’s lyrics and the slick, engaging sound makes for a really enjoyable listen throughout, and one that raises some very real flags about dating in the social media age.
