Loulita Gill’s “Walls” is a captivating and vindicating indie ballad that showcases her stunning vocals and poignant songwriting. The synths and electric guitar are combined powerfully to illustrate a zooming, hypnotic soundscape behind the soft, luscious voice of Loulita, delivered soulfully. Gill’s vocals are delicate yet powerful, with a message to the listener holding their attention throughout the entire track.

Gill’s voice perfectly captures the emotion and vulnerability of the lyrics, which explore the feeling of guilt over past traumas that they had no part in creating. She hints at Imposter Syndrome, created by complex emotions or gaslighting, which often follows trauma victims, and her breaking out of these walls to say, “I am innocent.”

Aron Bicskey, her producer, manufactured a simplistic sound so that Gill’s vocals shine through every beat and are upfront in the soulful musical atmosphere. The use of reverb and delay adds to the dreamy, introspective nature of the track. In contrast, the use of sparing electronic beats and glitch effects adds a touch of modernity and experimentation.

Overall, “Walls” is a beautifully crafted song that showcases Loulita Gill’s incredible talent as a singer-songwriter. It’s a powerful and emotional track that will resonate with anyone who has guilt-ridden themselves or been accused of things they had no control over due to overpowering trauma. This ballad is a testament to Gill’s ability to create deeply introspective, healing, and empowering music that connects with her audience. Listen to Loulita Gill’s “Walls” to remind yourself how far you have come from your trauma and know that you can go further.
