“Lemonade” is the catchy debut single from Carly Shea, an NYC-based artist crafting a consuming vein of pop inspired by house and alternative soul. “Lemonade” touts suave verses with a dark atmospheric tint, with underlying strings alongside house-forward rhythms. Shea’s vocals are melodic and fully capable of swapping between a darker mysterious allure and brighter pop infectiousness. This is a catchy, well-produced debut from an artist who looks to have a big 2020 ahead.
Carly says: ““Lemonade” is my first single; it’s a somewhat upbeat track with dark vibes. Though it’s a fun track, I wrote it as an escapist song. My headspace wasn’t great — I’d spent the past few years between Mexico City, LA, and NYC recording songs, but between dealing with unsavory characters and fearing music would conflict with my job as a talent agent, I never released it. I finally got to a point where I was like, forget it, I’m writing this carefree track and releasing it. That’s what’s behind “Lemonade.””
