Lola Blanc releases new single "Here Come the Wolves"
Lola Blanc have dropped their new single “Here Come the Wolves” today.
For the cut, which can be heard below, the artist worked with producer Bleu. Blanc said this about the tune, which was partially inspired by Bleu’s dream:
“Over the past couple of years, I’ve become very interested in the idea of justice and how we define it. I was finding myself fantasizing about taking down people who’d harmed me, even though I don’t believe in punitive justice in theory. I realized that I believed in people’s potential to reform when they’ve committed crimes that are much worse than some of the things I’ve experienced, but I still had this desire to get revenge in my own life. It got to a point where I couldn’t ignore that incompatibility anymore, and I began to grapple with this idea of punishment. Anger is necessary, but at what point does it stop being healthy? Would revenge undo my trauma? Or would it perpetuate more harm? If someone has committed harm, why did they do it? Did someone harm them? Did society teach them to harm? The more deeply I look into the origins of people’s behavior, the more I tend to find the answer is yes to both of those questions. But even knowing that intellectually, those instincts don’t necessarily go away. That’s what this song is about.
Going into the writing session for this song, I’d made a note on my phone to write a song about wolves, and the day of the session the producer, Bleu, texted me saying he’d had a song idea in a dream - and it was about wolves. I got chills! He ended up using the riff he remembered in his dream for the actual track."
A music video for the track will be released soon. “Here Come the Wolves” is available on digital services right now.
