‘Faded and Golden’ is the new track from Brooklyn-based artist Caroline Says. It’s a contemplative track that places a distinctive voice over a unique soundscape. Musically, it’s warm, mellow and relaxed, taking subtle folk and pop influences, and treating them with cinematic, textured beauty. “Relationships are, first and foremost, ideas,” she says. “That’s what allows relationships to persist even when we’re apart. We may yearn for an old friend or lover, especially one from our teenage years and our hometown. But there is a bittersweetness to any reunion. They may shatter the memory we’ve made of them.” The new album from Caroline Says, The Lucky One, is out on October 11th, 2024, via Western Vinyl. -Dan Peeke
