LOWELL - “HAMPTONS CITY COWBOY”
LABEL : ARTS & CRAFTS
A follow up to her latest single “Guess I’m Going To Hell”, Lowell continues to effortlessly fuse classic 60s doo wop sounds with modern pop elements; but in contrast, “Hamptons City Cowboy” gives an upbeat yet mysterious take on the lure of a new relationship. "I wrote this song about a light love, the early stages of a relationship when everything is still all a mystery,” says Lowell. “Unlike some of my other more introspective songs this is really just a fun and flirty Friday night out.”
"Guess I'm Going To Hell" is a modern pop take on a 60s doo-wop ballad with spacey synths and minimalist guitars accompanying Lowell's raw lyrics about accepting the mistakes you've made because they helped you become a stronger person. "I wrote about coming to terms with my demons and realizing that we’re all human," says Lowell, "we make mistakes and at some point you might as well just party on."
After dropping out of college and escaping a manipulative music manager, Lowell was tapped by producer Martin Terefe to create her debut EP featuring collaborations with members of Coldplay, A-Ha and Mew. The EP caught the attention of indie label Arts & Crafts, who released her 2014 debut which prominently addressed her feminist politics.
Continuing her multidisciplinary artistic trajectory, Lowell co-wrote Bloodthirsty, a 2020 Canadian horror feature film about a young vegan indie singer, who finds herself turning into a werewolf under the pressure of recording her anticipated second album. The film features several new songs, including “Lemonade” and “Bloodthirsty” which received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Original Song. The film was accepted into Frontieres at Cannes and premiered at both Fantastic Fest in Austin TX (the US’s biggest genre fest) and Fantasia in Montreal (only 10 films accepted world wide).
