A dazed pop sound shimmers on “Carousel,” the opening single from Lenny Zen‘s upcoming EP, Artifact of Attraction. A dreamy pop and alternative hip=hop aesthetical intertwining compels, as throbbing synths and glistening guitars arise into a soulful vocal charisma. The track is described as “written about the impermanent nature of love in the early days of a relationship.”
“Maybe you’re slowing me down, or maybe I need you around,” the opening vocals contemplate, halting momentarily as a funky bass suaveness drives into the twinkling, psychedelic bridge — arriving into a delectable wordless daze. “Carousel” is an ethereal pop delight from Lenny Zen.
