Do you ever look back at your past with a nostalgic, longing sensation? I do, sometimes. It’s incredibly poignant to look back at an era that’s now gone, especially because there’s always a nagging feeling that I might have been more ‘alive’ than I am now. As in, perhaps I was more adventurous years ago, I would take more risks, while now my outlook on life is rather different. The truth is, our memories are not always as positive as we remember them. Change and growth never lie, a truth that Abby London fully mastered in her latest effort, ‘What Happened To Me’.
Hailing from Seattle, the talented American songstress crafts a compelling and wholesome alt-pop anthem, steeped in indie poignancy and guitar prowess. Lending her evocative and commanding vocals to the cause, London dives deep into the perception of her past, asking herself whether her younger self was less ‘boring’ and more vibrant: “What happened to me? I used to be so carefree and fun. What happened to me? I used to be so naive and dumb”.
Eventually, Abby comes to the realization that she’s actually reached the best version of herself (at least so far). Embracing the past and looking to the future with hopeful courage, ‘What Happened To Me’ then blooms into an anthemic and energetic outro, deeply connecting with any like-minded listeners out there. Produced by Cade Roberts, the single is a compelling offering, one that has now fully turned our attention to Abby London’s imaginative, meaningful artistry.
