Hailing out of Provo, Utah we have Laken Lambson with her angelic new pop tune "Bored". The new cut is her first song since 2020's "Game" and what a return it is - and already the track has found it's way into a handful of the finest medoum size playlists.
Instantly you're warmed to her song as Laken's vocals are so welcoming, much like a warm blanket on a rainy day after a walk. Her vocals remind me of Au/ra's as they're soft and angelic but they grip you from the first word.
Musically the instrumentation is simplistic, but it doesn't over-power her voice, which is the highlight for me. However, the vibrant licks of guitars mixed in with organic drum samples is a delight as it brings the track down to earth, and that's what I'd say "Bored" is, a down to earth dream-pop slice of joy.
