German producer Lawrence Timoni conjures an anthemic vigor on new single “Life’s a Mess (But We Love It),” intertwining a spirited confidence — beckoning to “sing it loud,” even during the darkest of nights — amidst bursts of melodic guitars. Described as “a love letter to imperfection,” the track excels with its genuine sense of catharsis and feelings of self-love, particularly important in modern times overwrought with digital reputations and resulting lack of honesty.
The track’s production dazzles in its dynamic ranges — spanning from the “we’re unbreakable,” twangy art-rock displays of inner-pride to the riveting finale, which infuses twangy guitar lines with a psych-friendly, prog-touched nostalgia. The main vocal sections meld with propulsions of contagious guitar riffs, echoing indie-rock and Brit-pop inspirations. From free-flowing guitar lines to soaring vocal affections — which express “finding beauty in everything,” — “Life’s a Mess (But We Love It)” is a memorable, replay-inducing embracing of personal imperfection from Lawrence Timoni.
