In recent times there hasn’t been enough Pop artists bringing something a little different or more specifically a bit eccentric to the music scene. Laelia is about to change all that, with her new single “Television” which musically throws you into the realm of singers like Foxes and Sky Ferreira. With the help of surreal, choir-esque backing vocals in the first verse, a piano that’s been produced to sound almost like a tinny bell playing a simple yet memorable chord structure, an 80’s sounding Electro drum kit, and a robotic, male voice who brings a strange, trippy effect to this quirky number by repeating Laelia’s lines like Television’s opening lyric “over the moon they’ve been watching,” overall delivers an intriguing piece of Pop music production reminiscent of the music of Marina And The Diamonds.

Vocally, you cannot match Laelia to anyone currently due to her unusual, stand-out voice which, during the bridge section, unexpectedly delivers a more seductive vocal tone when responding to the man’s words “I want you to call me,” her sexual response being “call me now,” leading up to one hell of a catchy chorus that will stay in your mind’s eye long after the first listen, and that middle 8 section instantly throws you back to Madonna’s 2003 single “Love Profusion” because of Television’s use of a strumming acoustic guitar, delivering Folk Dance at its’ best, whilst also bringing on a stunning undertone of sadness.

But let’s not forget Television’s awesome hook, which with the help of music producer Inu The Strange, showcases a slick, masterful fusion of Electro-Pop instrumentation and 80’s drum programming, concluding that Inu is definitely making a positive name for himself, specifically within the current Pop-Rock field. The best way to describe Laelia’s “Television” is that it is a dramatic and theatrical piece of Pop-Rock art, and Rough Online strongly advise that you keep an eye out for more music from the Brazilian singer and songwriter, with some unique ideas up her sleeve.
