Scottish Singer-Songwriter Kohla Shares New Single “Lovebites” From Upcoming Debut Album ‘Romance’
Scottish singer-songwriter/producer Kohla has shared her new single “Lovebites”, lifted from her upcoming debut album Romance, due September 8th.
Written in a stream of consciousness after scrolling past an Instagram post of an ex, the track has Kohla returning to wonder what really happened to the relationship.
Explaining on the song’s backstory she shares, “We parted ways amicably, with him citing he wasn’t in a good place mentally. However, the photo I saw presented him smiling and socialising with friends. It made me question: had he had lied to me? Or was this just for social validation?
In hindsight, probably both“.
Finding a relatable vulnerability in its lyricism and a pensive, delicate quality in its compositin, “Lovebites” is a realization that heartbreak can sneak up despite all of the self-care.
“I felt as though I was healing in an extremely healthy way – connecting with nature, reading and going to bed at 9pm on the weekends. However, it crushed me to imagine my ex was out ‘dancing in the moonlight’ and giving other girls lovebites”, she concludes.
