Lemon Power’s latest single, “I’m an Animal,” released on December 5, 2024, delivers an explosive blend of alternative rock, grunge, and indie pop. The duo—Sere, a powerhouse vocalist and guitarist, and Ale, a bassist with grunge and indie sensibilities—crafted a song brimming with raw energy and self-discovery. Rooted in Sere’s reflections during the pandemic, the track explores the longing to break free and redefine oneself.
Recorded at Konk Studios with production by Sere, Ale, and Matt Jaggar, the single maintains a raw, authentic edge.
“I’m an Animal” opens with vibrant guitar riffs and thumping drums, instantly setting an energetic, rebellious tone. Sere’s high, wispy voice carries an eccentric edge, delivering lyrics that strike a balance between urgency and introspection. Her erratic, hooky delivery contrasts beautifully with the shimmering instrumentals, which evoke a vivid, psychedelic aura. Backing vocals add to the song’s electrifying atmosphere, with the refrain, “Let’s burn this city” becoming a soulful haunt that manifests a change.
Lyrically, “I’m an Animal” channels a primal, communal energy, celebrating the raw and untamed nature of humanity. Lines like “Because I don’t belong here” resonate deeply, reflecting a universal yearning for liberation and belonging. Ale’s personal connection to this theme reinforces the song’s emotional weight, as Lemon Power becomes their symbolic “jungle.”
The hypnotic repetition of “I’m an animal” builds to a cathartic crescendo, embodying the track’s rebellious spirit. With its dynamic instrumentation, captivating lyrics, and unabashed intensity, “I’m an Animal” is a fiery anthem for anyone seeking to embrace their wild, authentic self. Listen to it on Spotify.
