“Roll Me Over” balances hooky immediacy and heartrending introspection, marking a sturdy success from UK artist Lonely Gimmick. The single reflects poignantly on a “relationship’s aftermath,” — interspersing reminders that things will be “alright,” with some blame-games directed at oneself.
Sporadic guitar strums complement a visceral series of lyrical introspection. “I am a liar. I am a cheat.” The “everything will be alright,” reminders play like a meditative calming in between moments of self-blame, as escalating guitars and clap-laden percussive elements combine delightfully. A summarizing monologue concludes the track, with a reassuring send-off.
“Roll Me Over” is a memorable showing from Lonely Gimmick, marking the final single prior to next year’s album release, Stay At Home to Sleep In.
