Los Angeles-based songstress Princess Liv hits you right in the feels with her latest single, โOn The Line.โ This 80s synth-pop gem is a shimmering exploration of loneliness and the allure of reconnecting with past flames.
โOn The Lineโ opens with a hypnotic synth line, creating a dreamy, almost trance-like atmosphere. Livโs voice enters, soft and vulnerable, confessing her not-so-proud tendency to revisit old relationships. She admits itโs a product of loneliness.
Then comes the chorusโan earworm you wonโt be able to shake. Liv sings out her desire to reconnect. The catchy melody perfectly captures the desperate longing for a familiar connection.
The second verse explores the dynamics of reviving old ties. Brooding backing vocals add depth as Liv sings about the inevitable and ill-fated fallout. Despite the heartbreak, Liv canโt help but cling to a sliver of hope. The dreamy, twinkling instrumentals intensify and manifest into the perfect 80s synth-pop, surrounding her voice in what feels both hopeful and melancholic. With layered vocals, her message and her desperation build in intensity.
The lyrics, โIโve been trying to call you baby/But would you pick up?โ capture the relatable struggle of the contrivance for connection amidst unrequited feelings, while leaving you vulnerable to the possibility of being left hanging on the line.
Listen to Princess Livโs โOn The Lineโ and imagine the both musically and emotionally beautiful, nostalgic, and simplistic pop mess of wanting what you canโt have.
