NYC electro-pop newcomers Lovelife play Irving Plaza on 05.09

“Dying to Start Again” (streaming below) is the latest single by Brooklyn newcomers Lovelife and it’s all about second chances. As those types of songs go, it’s lyrically a tad mopey. You want her back… you wish you could start again. We get it. The reason why this song actually works so well is because it’s musically quite evocative. From the pong-like synth loops to the slow-creeping beat to the heavenly falsetto vocals, you get the sense that, despite the singer’s sadness, the whole experience was worth every effort. That’s wisdom, yo.- See the band at Irving Plaza on 05.09 with Gold Fields and Capital Cities. – Brian Chidester
