“We just went straightforward with this one,” shares SIPHO. on the new single. “It’s a character piece, but this is almost a part of me. It’s me being an overt kind of villain.

Lagoona Bloo Releases New Single “Elle Woods”
“Growing up as a queer, Mexican-American kid from the South, I felt underestimated and overlooked most of my life,” shares Lagoona. “For this album, I wanted to write a song about having to overcome this and one of my favorite characters who is underestimated but triumphs in the end is Elle Woods from the iconic movie Legally Blonde. I immediately wrote the lyric “Baby, I’m a star! What, like it’s hard?” and the song wrote itself! ‘Elle Woods’ is one of my favorites on the album right now and I hope that people not only love the references to the iconic blonde but take away the fact that anyone can ‘Do it like Elle Woods.’”

Lily & Madeleine share aching track “No Part of Me” out now ahead of 5th LP

Over smooth, orchestral production that builds as it progresses, the song’s thesis can be heard in the searing line, “Feels like my love for you’s just sympathy.” Madeline says the honest track is about, “Falling out of love and realizing perhaps love was never really present in a relationship, and choosing yourself.” There’s a clear sense of relief that runs through the track. Madeleine continues that the track, “feels like when the train finally arrives at the platform, with a rush of wind, a burst of light, and a sense of relief.” Though the lyrics are quite sad and straightforward, Madeline says the track is a necessary moment of liberation from negativity, adding, “the song is really meant to contain all of the joy and humor that can also be found in the closing of one chapter to usher in a new one.”
