CHILD STAR’S LATEST SINGLE ‘MOVIES’ IS A SONIC SNAPSHOT IN TIME OF DAYS GONE BY.
“In a global landscape that is currently marred with uncertainty and anxiety, ‘Movies’ is a more-than-welcome dose of youthful wonder in the form of a rather brilliant indie-pop track.”
A rose-tinted look back on perhaps simpler, happier times- Child Star’s latest single ‘Movies’ is a sonic snapshot in time of days gone by.
The London-Stockholm duo showcase their evolution from earlier dream-pop days to their now firm foothold in the realm of Indie-pop with this sunshine-infused, synth-spattered track. Lucid guitars and stunning vocals carry sentiments of the strength and intensity of childhood friendships and how this shouldn’t have to fade as we grow up; in fact, it might be the very thing we need to stay sane and keep ourselves from taking life too seriously. This sense of childhood nostalgia found in Child Star’s lyrics is also reflected in their sonic borrowings from the nineties and noughties, connecting the listener even further with the untainted and uncomplicated joys of youth we so often lose touch with, but that can so often prove to be the best remedy.
In a global landscape that is currently marred with uncertainty and anxiety, ‘Movies’ is a more-than-welcome dose of youthful wonder in the form of a rather brilliant indie-pop track.
