GATLIN LONELY LIFE

Rising singer-songwriter Gatlin delivers vulnerable new track 'Lonely Life', weaving through half-hearted mantras that everything’s alright even as constricting loneliness closes in on her. With a soft yet rich string-led soundscape intercut by steady acoustic strums, the track’s strength lies in deep lyrical skill and intense vocal lines that moves effortlessly from heartache to undertones of hope as she shrugs off the burden of feeling isolated and alone to accept 'It’s all good, I’ll just never be understood'. The slow-burning emotions of the track are complimented by an injection of playfulness by showcasing Gatlin in all her glory as a glamorous cat lady. 'Lonely Life' encapsulates various striking feelings into a decadent but delicate musicality. -Malvika Padin
