Lemonboy – ‘Lemonboy’

Hailing from Washington, DC, musician Lemonboy is an artist you need to know about. His self-titled album, ‘Lemonboy’, is a folk-pop release that will have you reaching for the repeat button this January.

‘Ribbons’ opens the 10-track release and sets the scene beautifully as to what is to come. We adore the passionate performances and driving melodies that captivate the listener’s attention.

In addition, ‘Worse’ is a standout track complete with heartfelt lyrics, vulnerable melodies and stripped-back instrumentation. Also, ‘Everyone Has Those Nights’ takes the release in a fresh direction with gorgeous piano work and beautiful harmonies.

Moreover, ‘Bright’ has a thoughtful arrangement and charismatic performances. Finally, the title track closes the release with elegance and grace. ‘Lemonboy’ is a rich tapestry of songs that needs to be listened to in one sitting, so turn the lights down and the volume up!

Comments

Lemonboy says about the release, “‘Lemonboy’ is a reflection of compassion, identity, and self-discovery. It’s human. To me, it also feels like this love letter to the chosen family who helped me bring it to life.” He continues, “The project has felt like one giant leap of faith after the next!”
