'Our aim with all of our songs, no matter the subject material, is to write from a place of deep, honest expression'
Cool — that bland, ubiquitous word — is a plague upon modern dating. Genre-disrupting folk trio Lula Wiles captures this phenomenon in new single"It's Cool " premiering today on. It tells an eerily familiar story for anyone who's had put on the cool girl act in a relationship pretending,"It's cool/ We're cool/ And everything's cool," when in reality, things are anything but.
Although there's sharp political critique layered in their lyrics, there's something about the group that just feels easy and yes, cool. While a song about the politics of overthinking text messages may not seem as pressing as rewriting American history, there's a freshness to the blatant honesty of the narrative.
Eleanor: The title of this song comes from an actual text I sent to someone. Even though the relationship had utterly collapsed, I still found myself trying to save face, by not letting him think I was more vulnerable than he was. And it was sent with a healthy dose of self depreciation since, obviously,was cool.
How do you work to make your songs both political and authentic about love and relationships at the same time? What challenges or freedoms come with that?
