Memphis LK grows tall with the release of her fresh single Roses. Spirited base-pop that blooms from a bed of dystopian electro, Roses reveals a further metamorphosis for the self-sufficient songwriter and producer since her introduction Speak Honestly.
Take your seat
Go on
It’s gonna start
Gonna break apart
Unsticking, unstuck
Peel the sticker off
You do not need the label
To get further into the centre
Turning it into your centre
Sit down quick
Peel, unstick
I think you will thank me
It’s gonna start
Gonna break apart
It’s time to show yourself
Know now you know yourself
It’s time to show yourself
Got plans to grow
Seep the water in the soil
Letting the roses come into bloom
Get the roots deep, gotta earth you down
Un-phased by the moon
Absorb the sun and feel the synthesis in your cells
Let it nourish you
Forgive yourself too
No please don’t fall
You know that we will grow tall
It’s time to show yourself
Know now you know yourself
It’s time to show yourself
Got plans to grow yourself
Seep the water in the soil and let the roses
Come into bloom
Absorb the sun and feel the synthesis in your cells
Let it nourish you
Seep the water in the soil and let the roses
Let it nourish you
Forgive yourself too
No please don’t fall
You know that we will grow tall
Seep the water in the soil and let the roses
Come into bloom
Absorb the sun and feel the synthesis in your cells
Let it nourish you

This one took a few listens. The first time, it went in all at once, like a corkscrew punched through the soft slab of abdomen, there on my side. I hardly noticed. Then it started to jiggle and wriggle around in there, and slowly — twist by twist, track by track — I came to realize what a bloody, brilliant mess I had on my hands. veryvery
You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason my brain decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it.
I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!!
(also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book) praisedrays
