Canadian songwriter and artist Lola Balter masters the acoustic pop space at just seventeen years old. I wish you knew me is a vocally sublime and rhythmically uplifting single, with a quirky groove and long-form lyrics that feel decidedly mature in their storytelling and personal revelations combined.
Rising up towards a euphoric and impassioned hook, the single is familiar and rather timeless in its classic organic pop energy and build, but introduces a songwriter and vocalist with a powerful nuance and identity that will likely ring loud and connect throughout all upcoming release.
I wish you knew me appears to blend subtle hints of influence from the likes of both folk pop and the more evocative vocal stylings of Billie Eilish. It’s an approach both relevant yet humbly her own right now, a catchy and meaningful single, and one that will no doubt hit all the right listeners with impact. The lyrical and vocal combination is second to none, intoxicating at its peak, and a pleasure to listen through.
