NYC-based musician Carly Shea first caught our ears with her brand of house-infused alternative pop, laced with personal themes ranging from life's daily struggles and aspirations for greater things. Her newest single "Lovesick" is inspired by the 1998 film Meet Joe Black, which she watched for the first time recently and came up with this reflective song that explores unrequited love. Over the atmospheric and surreal soundscape provided by her longtime collaborator Lovel, Carly pontificates on a what-if love scenario with lines like
"Why let my heart and my mind race?
It’s nothing real
Some way I feel
Tomorrow comes I’ll forget your face
I get so caught up and emotional
Just to tell myself ‘yeah I told you so’"
Armed with her rich vocal runs and distinct airy drawl, Carly draws listeners in with her vivid songwriting and earworm melodic arrangement that oozes nostalgia and deep emotion.
