When I first listened to the track, I was not aware of the ancestry of Lola Lennox, which, in her defense, is always helpful, because when your mother is Annie Lennox, you may often find yourself living in that shadow. Lola Lennox has been forging her own career in music over the last few years. Yes, her first appearances and recordings are with her mother, but as she has matured, there is a definite sound that makes Lola Lennox unique.

You may not have heard of Boygenius yet, but you probably know the three artists that make up the band: Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus. They had previously worked together as solo artists on tours but came up with the idea of collaborating after realizing that they had great chemistry. The name is a reference to the frustration they've experienced when working with some male egos in their separate careers. Despite this, it has given them a name to operate under, and we should be grateful for that because the sound they create is exceptional.
