Arlo Parks – 'Caroline'
Poet turned singer Arlo Parks shares gorgeous new single ‘Caroline’ - an alternative love song and the latest offering from her upcoming debut album ‘Collapsed In Sunbeams’.
In true Arlo Parks fashion, ‘Caroline’ thrills with smooth soundscapes and soothing vocals. Captivating beats layered over intricate guitar lines create a heavily emotive undercurrent as she breaks into a euphoric heartbroken chorus. “’Caroline’ is an exercise in people watching and seeing situations unfold without context,” Arlo says about the track. “It’s an exploration of how something once full of healthy passion can dissolve in an instant.”
‘Caroline’ is yet another ground-breaking song that showcases Arlo Parks marvellous take on sound and gives a taste of what to expect on her debut LP: A record that Arlo describes as “a series of vignettes and intimate portraits surrounding my adolescence and the people that shaped it. It is rooted in storytelling and nostalgia - I want it to feel both universal and hyper-specific."
