JODY LULATI DEVOURED BY LONELINESS
Athens-based Jody Lulati bares her soul on her latest release, 'Devoured by Loneliness' - a haunting slow-burn that captures the ache of solitude and the fragile beauty that can emerge from it. The song opens in pure vulnerability. Just Jody and the piano, a duet that immediately symbolises her loneliness, as if the world has fallen away and only her voice and the instrument remain. As the verse unfolds, subtle drums enter, adding a heartbeat-like rhythm that mirrors her emotional pulse. The slow melody aligns perfectly with the introspective mood, drawing listeners into the space of her feelings. Written over five years ago, 'Devoured by Loneliness' was born from a period when Jody felt completely alone and unable to show her true self to anyone. “It made me feel deprived of love, and it made me desperately crave the feelings of others- not always from people who were right for me.” That ache is powerfully captured in the lyric, 'It keeps falling on the wrong hands, hands' a line that resonates with longing and self-awareness. With its minimal yet evocative arrangement, 'Devoured by Loneliness' transforms isolation into art. It lingers as an honest reflection on what it means to need someone, even when you know you shouldn’t.. -Rachel Fryer
