Produced entirely in the band's bedroom, new single “Cut Me Slack” is built with pop-songwriting tendencies similar to Empire Of The Sun and Foster The People. Brimming with dreamy swells, synth riffs, processed samples and arpeggios, “Cut Me Slack!” is a continuation of The Lovepools driving synthpop and indie rock sound first established with their previous single, “White Lies & Palm Trees”. Backed by their label Sword Music under exclusive license to Sony Music Italy, “White Lies & Palm Trees” has gained over 20,000 Spotify streams and 35,000 YouTube views as well as appearing on MTV Italy and Italian radio since its May release date this year.
Phrases like, “Real love takes time,” and “We are the children hiding under the lights,” show the band refuses to let their hopes and dreams down, let alone anyone else's. Aria Cruz, bass player of The Lovepools, describes the song in a few sentences, “It’s about reaching for the highest star! The one you always wished upon when you were a child! The inner child viewing the adult version of you smiling… Knowing that you will never give up on your dreams.”
