about
I wrote “Lock U Down” with my friends from Exmoor Emperor before our world completely changed, and lockdowns took on a more sinister meaning. Still, I'm very happy to get to share this song at this moment. It's a super fun, happy pop song about getting together with your boo - a bit of escapism for anyone who wants to dance around at home. I've found that singing the chorus at the top of my lungs really helps alleviate those lockdown blues - as it says in the lyrics "we're gonna make it, live in another world" - those words are now my mantra!
lyrics
No point in hiding
from the things that you really want
Once you decided you know, you know, you know
I can be patient
Just want you to feel comfortable
Don’t make make wait for too long, too long, too long
Stay with me in this moment
I don’t wanna go back home, no
This could just be the beginning
I don’t wanna let you go, you go, go!
I’m gonna show you
The way I like, I like to roll
I’m gonna lock you down
We’re gonna make it
Live in a, in another world
I’m gonna show you how
I think you’re special
Love the way you move to the beat
Let’s keep it casual for now, for now for now
It’s such a pleasure (yeah!)
The way you’re looking at me
I’m gonna lock you down, down down
Stay with me in this moment
I don’t wanna go back home, no
This could just be the beginning
I don’t wanna let you go, you go, go!
I’m gonna show you
The way I like, I like to roll
I’m gonna lock you down
We’re gonna make it
Live in a, in another world
I’m gonna show you how
Stay with me in this moment
I don’t wanna go back home, no
This could just be the beginning
I don’t wanna let you go, you go, you go, you go, no!
Lock, lock,
Lock, lock you down
Lock, lock
Lock
Lock, lock,
You down
Lock, lock
Lock
I’m gonna show you
I’m gonna lock you down
Yeah we’re gonna make it
I’m gonna lock you down!
I’m gonna show you
The way I like, I like to roll
I’m gonna lock you down
We’re gonna make it
Live in a, in another world
I’m gonna show you how

Don't be fooled by the iridescent sheen of this glitchy electro-pop artist from London; her music has a tender heart. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 26, 2021
Another stellar effort from the Melbourne producer and singer-songwriter, built around fragmented grooves, warped vocals, and catchy hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 29, 2020
Art-pop that turns a critical eye on the world, as accessible as it is complex; sales benefit the Southern Poverty Law Center. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 24, 2018
