In 2018, Lachnes released the infectious ‘Interstate’, a song which quickly became a fan favourite. The up and coming Australian artist has now released a new single ‘Sidelines’, which builds off the success of ‘Interstate’ excellently.
The track instantly draws the listeners attention with an energetic, beat and a vibrant and catchy hook. According to Lachnes himself, the song’s message revolves around “[loving] a girl [even though] she has no idea that you’re interested in her”, and finding the right time to tell her. Thematically, the song continues from ‘Interstate’, with the track having a personal meaning to Lachnes, who describes how it “reflects the experiences of [his] love life”.
With both verses detailing the struggles of loving someone who “plays with your head” as Lachnes describes it, ‘Sidelines’ perfectly portrays the conflicting feelings associated with love whilst providing a catchy pop/r&b hook and instrumental, continuing to develop Lachnes as a talented Australian artist.
Lachnes’ progress is remarkable, with ’Interstate’ and ‘Sidelines’ clearly demonstrating his talent for creating catchy and memorable songs. With an upcoming project in the works, Lachnes is most definitely an artist to look to in the future.
