Hi! Hello everyone and welcome back to the Sound Scoop. I was just looking at my page and realized that this is my 18th post! I honestly can’t believe the number of songs I have talked about on this page, It has been so much fun!
Anyways, this week we continue the All Things Go Series. Today’s artist is performing on the first day of the festival and is another one I’m excited about because I know her through my sister's influence (like basically all my music taste…)
Let’s talk about Remi Wolf!!!!!!!!!!
She is an American singer-songwriter from Palo Alto, California. But she does have a very interesting cultural mixup. Her mom is from Sicily and her day is Russian-Persian. ALSO, she curiously was part of the Youth Olympic Games for two consecutive years, because she was a Skiier.
She released her first EP You're a Dog! in September 2019 but then in 2020 she released Photo ID, a song which many of you might know her from because it was very popular in the COVID era. It was the perfect representation of a hyper-energetic song that anyone could have fun with because we had nothing better to do in lockdown.
ANYWAYS, this week’s song is Cinderella released shortly ago in March of this year. This song is the first single, which teases her upcoming album Big Ideas and as she calls it “the first taste of her new era. So let’s stay tuned to what comes from her!
Cinderella, like all of Remi’s songs, is super fun and has just such an uplifting vibe, they will surely put you in a good mood. This primarily stems from her genre of funk soul pop, it feels like an explosion of rainbow fun! (if that even makes any sense)
As Remi herself explains:
“Cinderella is a lyrical collage of the ups and downs and mood swings and transient lifestyle I was experiencing while writing this album,”
It was her way of treating herself as a “fairy godmother”, telling herself that she was in control and doing a great job of handling the rollercoaster of emotions of the moment. Just a good song for a sunny afternoon and a quick confident boost for anyone!
Favorite Verse
“Baby girl won't you dry your eyes
Dont stress because you’re doing it right
What they say anything at all
Don’t need a thing because you're in control”
I hope you all have a good day, check out Remi Wolf’s Cinderella and all her other songs as we wait for her new album, releasing on July 12, 2024!
