Siren emoji, siren emoji.
Chicago-based duo
Iris Temple
are releasing a project
right around the corner.
The EP, known as
The Ones We Love,
is set to drop on May 24
and the rollout has been
lovely. First, the pair
provided a phone number
for fans to text
in order to receive a snippet
of their lead single,
“Pretty Love.”
Days later, the single dropped,
which was followed
with their very first
music video. Directed by
Winnie Ramone,
the self care /
interpretive dance
is a meditative trip through
a therapeutic relaxation session.
It's acoustic and serene,
stuck inside a reflective bedroom.
Heartbreak contrasted
by refreshing confidence.
Following up,
their second single
from the forthcoming EP
is “Real”.
It's upbeat.
It’s up in the clouds.
It’s alive and drowsy
with wonderful
verses from both
vocalists.
Two for two
on the appetizers
for The Ones We Love,
which drops next week.
While we’re here,
it’s necessary to include
“Visions”, which I don’t think
I featured on my blog
in the past. For the past week,
I’ve been
listening to this one
(which dropped late
last year) just as much
as their two new tracks
All praise
to the sunshine
in Chicago.
