Neo-soul artist Wild Gloriosa unveils her most recent single, ‘Lover Girl,’ a poignant tune that muses on the complexities of seeking genuine connection amidst a modern backdrop of fleeting encounters and emotional isolation. Crafted as an ode to the ardent heartbeat of true romantics everywhere, the song is both a tribute and a word of caution. It honors the bravery of pursuing profound emotional bonds and warns of the vulnerability that accompanies an open heart. Yet, through its narrative, ‘Lover Girl’ embraces a note of serenity, entrusting the whims of love to destiny’s hands.
A collaboration with producer Ariel Blum (known for work with NIASHA, St.Ives), ‘Lover Girl’ shines with piano-laden melodies courtesy of Wild Gloriosa’s longtime musical partner, Miguel Hutton. The song’s sophisticated composition is elegantly punctuated by velvety bass and subtle percussion, underpinning Wild Gloriosa’s silky vocals as they evoke the tranquillity of dusk settling over a gentle sea.
In alignment with her newest musical expression is a documentary by Emily Seif, granting an intimate glance at Wild Gloriosa’s artistic evolution. It’s a contemplative piece, celebrating her commitment to genuine self-expression, the embrace of fragility, and the waltz of life itself.
When you’ve had your heart broken before, the thought of if you’ll ever find love again is pretty scary. But you shouldn’t compromise your true self out of fear. There’s strength in vulnerability and allowing yourself to feel. I hope people connect with that, whether they relate to the lyrics or simply feel the emotion, I hope ‘Lover Girl’ resonates with them on a deeper level.
Hailing from Geelong, Wild Gloriosa entwines her South Indian heritage with experiences of growing up in Singapore, translating a melodious upbringing into a universal language. Her narrative speaks through her songs, creating a bridge to worldwide listeners. Following in the footsteps of her performances alongside high-profile acts like Jessica Mauboy, Telenova, and The Bamboos, she’s forging an indelible mark within the soul music genre.
As ‘Lover Girl’ becomes a milestone in her burgeoning career, Wild Gloriosa eagerly anticipates honing her artistry and venturing into new melodic territories. She also hints at the prospect of new releases in the coming months. Anticipation builds as she prepares to debut the song live with her seven-piece ensemble at the Geelong Arts Centre on April 17th.
‘Lover Girl’ was created as part of the GRID Series Geelong program, proudly supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria, the City of Greater Geelong and the Victorian Music Development Office.
