I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this song because I’ve been pretty indifferent towards both of these artists’ recent releases, but I really like what they can create together! It comes off effortless and I’m really happy how it ended up sounding.

“Pachinko Song” – Lily & Madeleine
Release Date – February 22

I’ve written about L&M this month and I wanted to share this song again because I love it so much. The idea of trying to be somewhere else and disconnect from emotions and thinking about someone is impossible and something I really relate to.
