London singer Arlo Parks wows fans once again with her newest single ‘2SIDED’. Taken from her upcoming album ‘Ambiguous Desire’ (coming out on the 3rd of April), the song has yearning at its core. It feels reminiscent of a good night out, a little softer around the edges but with lyrics that hit deep, “I’ve been waiting for this moment all night / tell me it’s two-sided”. The track highlights one of Parks’ strongest skills - being able to relate to her listeners, making songs that feel tailored just to them. 

The song deserves to be blasted across radios worldwide because of how poignant it is. Filled with twinkling pianos and a gentle drum pattern that sounds similar to a heartbeat, ‘2SIDED’ is undeniably catchy and makes listeners excited to see what comes next for the young musician. 

The ending is one of the best parts of the whole song, with vocals that overlap each other, but with the synths that help to cut through the noise, there’s an air of drama behind it before it cuts completely, leaving those who have listened to wallow in the beauty that they’ve just heard. 

 

A tune to dance your feelings out to, Arlo Parks never disappoints with her releases and ‘2SIDED’ follows suit. Paving the way for her musical journey, her latest tune sets an exciting precedent for her future.
