Lemonade Shoelace releases Psych-Pop single and Official Music Video for Soul Syndrome - OUT TODAY!
2023 proved to be a year where the name "Lemonade Shoelace" was on everyone's lips. Following showcases at international tastemaker festivals SXSW and The Great Escape, the bedroom producer released his debut EP "Do Whatever Makes You Happy", and introduced the world to the Shoe Crew and his vibrant take on psychedelic pop. And with the release of his next single, one chapter closes and a new one begins.
Enter "Soul Syndrome", the single that bridges the gap between eras without losing the signature sound that built the Lemonade Shoelace name. A space-age jam built upon a bedrock of floating melodies, easy-listening grooves and expansive rhythms, Soul Syndrome brings to mind the work of peers like Aflie Templeman, Peach Pit and Oscar Lang. Despite being recorded and produced solely within his bedroom, the song is laden with expansive synths and swirling pop production that traps listeners in their own star-filled syndrome.
"Soul Syndrome is a song about how your thoughts and self-beliefs are the most prominent barrier between you and your dreams. As said in the song, if you let your thoughts become feelings, you can do anything alone - but beware: it depends on what you think about. Positive thoughts equal positive feelings and outcomes, and negative thoughts and beliefs will hold you back from ever attempting to achieve your highest aspirations."
"To me, the phrase Soul Syndrome describes the state in which you aren’t following your true purpose or your dreams in life, but are yet to actively do something to change it. We are humans, and it’s not our fault that we have so many limiting beliefs and anxieties around being an ‘adult’; and it certainly doesn’t help having an education system that merely just teaches us how to ‘get a job’ and ‘earn money’. I know we are all worth so much more than that, and I truly hope these words or this song helps even just one person in the slightest."
