Like slipping into a soft-focus daydream you don't want to leave, Naarm/Melbourne-based artist Laura Adeline creates a sweet escape in her new single 'Acquainted', out Friday, May 1. Silky and smooth, this tune is Laura's latest addition to her velvety and intimate R&B catalogue.
With her vulnerable storytelling, interlaced with textured beats and smooth synthesisers, Laura Adeline remains authentic and vibrant. Receiving considerable endorsement from Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, and Apple Music for previous singles 'Curbside' and '501s' and included in publications The AU Review, AAA Backstage, Stereofox and more, Laura is back with a more stripped-back and experimental version of herself.
'Acquainted' draws from a mix of studio-written lyrics and journal entries pulled from years of personal notes, tracing the lingering confusion, anger, remorse and regret that can follow long after a relationship ends. Speaking on the track, Laura shares:
"Acquainted is about looking back on something and thinking that I wish this person the best… but I'm actually still mad. But then they probably have the right to be mad at me, too… but I've changed. Have they changed? I don't want to ever see them again, but if I do… I hope I can find out. And then this process repeats itself."
Intoxicatingly lustrous, 'Acquainted' drifts through a floaty, daydream-like haze, supported by a fusion of R&B and alternative pop threaded together with modern funk sensibilities to offer a refined, minimalist sound. Underpinned by subtle electric drums, laid-back bass and reverb-soaked guitar parts, Laura's rich, mesmerising vocals stand out, both sexy and sweet.
The tune is accompanied by a visualiser that mirrors the track's understated intimacy, placing the artist in a bright blue tutu within the quiet, unadorned space of a retro motel bathroom and bedroom. Paired with unrestrained framing and vast negative space, the detached atmosphere reflects the feeling of losing something meaningful, yet not wanting it back.
Endlessly laid-back and hypnotic, 'Acquainted' feels made for those dusty-eyed morning bus rides, mid-day daydreams and late-night introspection. Become acquainted with Laura Adeline in her latest track, out Friday, May 1.
