A few nights ago, I discovered loraine’s new single “901” and I ended up replaying it more than I expected. It has that kind of pop songwriting that pulls you in from your first listen. The song stays soothing the whole time, but there’s still a lot of weight behind it, especially once the lyrics start settling in.
loraine has a strong voice and I really loved how smooth her delivery sounded from beginning to end. She never pushes the song too far or overloads it with emotion. Everything moves in a steady way that matches the story behind the track. You can hear the honesty in the writing, especially knowing the song came from a painful breakup and the strange emotions that follow after someone suddenly disappears from your life.
The melodies are probably my favorite part. They fit perfectly with the lyrics and kept getting stuck in my head after the song ended. I also loved the production quality here. The instrumental work adds a lot and the mix sounds clean and carefully handled. The small details in the background kept catching my attention on repeat listens.
This was my first time hearing loraine, but she already feels like an artist I’ll keep coming back to. I’d honestly love to write more about her music in the future because this single really impressed me.
