Bright pop bangers are sort of a usual occurrence in Lark’s kaleidoscopic, anthemic artistic universe. Following up on last year’s ‘11:11’, the Aussie songstress now returns with ‘Downtown On The Radio’, a striking and dreamy effort with a great deal of elegance and evocative energy in it. From a sonic standpoint, the record takes a bold and uplifting approach, blending dreamy electronica with heightened vintage flair, making for a timeless, relatable piece that will appeal to both mature and young audiences.
Yet, that’s not where ‘Downtown On The Radio’ really shines: its meaningful and striking message takes the crown here, urging fellow artists to resist streaming giants and the corporate music industry. Aiming to take back control and highlighting indie radio’s historical efforts in the matter, Lark extends a heartfelt call to liberation and independence, all aided by smooth melodies and catchy, expansive choruses.
Speaking about the single, Lark explains: “This song is about all artists taking back their power,” says Lark. “The streaming giants and corporate labels have turned art into a machine that churns out profit for them, not the creators. Radio has always been a place where independents could shine, and blockchain is a new way forward – one where artists own their work and their worth.”
Lark is celebrating ‘Downtown Of The Radio’ with an exclusive 50-piece NFT collection, each featuring a unique version of the song and cover art by renowned Marvel artist Christian Cordella.
