Lauren Hulbert brings you sunshine, wildflowers, and that feeling of butterflies in your stomach in her new single “HONEYDEW.”
This song is pure, unadulterated sweetness as it gently caresses your ears with strumming guitars. Produced by Hulbert herself, she washes over you with her husky, grainy, and oh-so-natural voice. The jangling percussion adds a touch of playful momentum, like sunlight dappling through the leaves.
With the lyrics written by herself and Wren Huxley, she gives you love-struck bliss. Hulbert sings of new beginnings, blooming love, and sweet dreams coming true celebrating that feeling when you’re head-over-heels and the world seems sprinkled with fairy dust. “Honeydew, first light of dawn/Start anew, a day is born,” she sings, her voice brimming with cheerful happiness.
The music video, filmed at Huxley Bird Productions, is an extension of the song’s magic that completes it with a degree of fantasy steeped in organic, simplistic idealism. We see Hulbert basking in a field, frolicking with playful forest nymphs, playing with a child then finally, meeting her soulmate by a shimmering lake. It’s a fairytale come to life, with a touch of DIY charm that makes it all the more endearing.
While “HONEYDEW” might be about the honeymoon phase, it’s not just for couples. It’s for anyone who needs a little slice of sunshine for their grim lives to find that that is all they need in life.
