Indonesian-Singaporean singer lullaboy has recently released his second single for 2023 which is titled “cool”.
cool’ is the zenith of lullaboy’s beliefs and life values. Hiding brutally honest lyrics in a poised and effortless, synth-ridden cruise of a track, lullaboy creates an anthem for anyone tired of trying to “fit in” just to be accepted by the world.
lullaboy lyrically enumerates characteristics of the played-out bravado of the self-sabotaging, peer-pleasing, and carnage-romanticizing youth – the antithesis of what he stands for. He leads the track with a message that shines a light on anyone lost on the path to appeal to the idea of being “cool”. An encouraging message for the misfits, he beckons them to remain grounded in their path, to not be swayed by the pressure of changing themselves, and to stay true to who they are.
“The more my career and journey evolves, the more I’ve begun to realize that nothing is more important than following your heart and staying true to who you are,” he says.
“cool” was produced by Jacob Attwooll (who’s other credits include Dua Lipa, NCT127, TXT, Enhypen) and co-writer Ricky Manning (who’s credits include Carlie Hanson, Lennon Stella, and Why Don’t We) and it serves as a reminder that in a society where we’re supposed to be something, just be yourself.
“With more young adults now struggling to find themselves, I hope this song empowers listeners to embrace their uniqueness and love themselves”, he concludes.
lullaboy’s “cool” MV was also released which saw an abandoned chemical lab was turned into an underground party scene in Bangkok. The video shows lullaboy trying to enjoy the life of the party but is also eager to just go home to his bedroom.
“cool” also marks his third single release under RedRecords following his success with “Shortcut To Heaven” and “van gogh”, available now for downloads on iTunes and streaming websites such as Apple Music, Deezer, JOOX music, KKBox, Spotify, YouTube and YouTube Music.
