Explaining the inspiration for "Sweater Collection, Lo Lo says, “While cleaning out my closet one day, I realized I had a lot of sweaters that weren’t exactly mine. They all originally belonged to guys that I had dated, given to me as some sort of twisted keepsake. I’m not sure who started this ritual, or why it’s such a thing, but it just is. A guy likes you, he lets you take home one of his sweaters. You can then choose to wear it, or hang it on your door as you see fit. Whether these connections lasted a long time or a short time, every sweater told a story about how it somehow didn’t work out in the end.”
Lo Lo made a big splash with her debut single “Yours,” racking up more than 500,000 streams on Spotify almost overnight. With her infectious pop sound, clever lyrics, and dazzling voice, Lo Lo radiates charisma and beau coup magnetism, as she sings about the highs and lows of love and heartbreak.
Because of her superior vocal chops, Lo Lo eschews the cheap digital manipulation known as autotune. She doesn’t need it. Her potent crystalline tones simply flow forth like a gleaming river.
Lo Lo’s voice is an elegant confection, sweet but not cloying, full of velvety timbres and supple surface sheens.
“Sweater Collection opens with catchy synths flowing into an iridescent pop melody with staccato percussion and a tight, throbbing bass line. Twinkling synth accents infuse the tune with luminous colors, as the buff rhythm holds the bottom. On the chorus, the harmonics achieve a shimmering coalescence, bright, breezy, and contagious.
Lo Lo’s voice is an elegant confection, sweet but not cloying, full of velvety timbres and supple surface sheens. Witty lyrics spell out how she collected a closet full of sweaters.
“I was standing by myself / You asked if I could help / Making drinks for everybody else / Asked who I came with / But I knew what that meant / Knew what you wanted me to do / Next thing that I knew you / Took me to your room / Started playing Blink 182 / Ordered takeout / Started to make out.”
“Sweater Collection” has it going on! The melody is full of cool, pop energy while Lo Lo’s dazzling tones tell the tale of her sweater collection.
