Wearing headphones and sitting in the back of a truck, Lala Lala sets the tone for her latest single, asking existential questions right off the bat: "Am I in it? Does this go faster?"
Light and layered vocals blend together with a combination of lush synths and live instruments to create "Does This Go Faster?," an homage to drifting toward the unknown—the unknown being life itself. Energy shifts from inquisitive to reflective define the song throughout, regarding the universal balance between aimlessness and freedom, the inescapability of forward momentum.
As her first single on Sub Pop Records, this marks the beginning of a new era for Lala Lala, who has been releasing music since 2016.
Her music has evolved in both production and perspective, making each subsequent release equally interesting and worth exploration.
