Melodies from the Chaos of Growing Up: ‘i heard she’s crazy (EP)’ by Adeline V. Lopez

‘i heard she’s crazy (EP)’ by Adeline V. Lopez

Adeline V. Lopez, a talented indie-pop artist from New York, has crafted a remarkable release with her EP ‘i heard she’s crazy.’ In her songs, she captures the essence of coming of age in the vibrant cityscape of New York. Themes such as hope, self-discovery, and the struggle against inner demons are masterfully explored through her music.

The common thread of the EP is the theme of farewell, whether bidding adieu to high school days or to friends. ‘i heard she’s crazy’ precisely captures this transitional character. Adeline skillfully blends folk, pop, and indie influences into a contemporary sound. In her song ‘to the boys i grew up with,’ she reflects on the inevitable changes that accompany the transition from youth to adulthood. She also captures the bittersweet moments of parting with longtime friends and the realization that sometimes our mere existence unintentionally causes hurt.

‘belvedere’ describes a place familiar to many New Yorkers. This location serves as a backdrop for youthful rebellion. Young people venture out at night, marvel at the cityscape, and reflect on their own self-destructive behaviors. The EP’s title track delves into the exploration and struggle for liberation from old habits and relationships. Adeline emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, for oneself and others. ‘bloodstream,’ ‘icarus,’ and the already well-known ‘fleeting moments,’ my personal favorite, make this EP a poignant snapshot of perhaps the most crucial time in a person’s life, at least for a young person.

Adeline’s distinctive sound and soulful vocals infuse this EP with emotional depth. Her music resonates with listeners of all ages, offering solace and encouragement. Sometimes, the most beautiful melodies emerge from the chaos of growing up, and that’s precisely what Adeline’s music captures. Once again, New York produces exceptional talents, and Adeline V. Lopez is one of the names worth remembering.
