Love You Later Shares New Single ‘Keepintouch’
Love You Later — the project of Nashville-based artist and songwriter Lexi Aviles — has just shared her brand new single Keepintouch, an infectious alt-pop song.
Co-written with fellow Nashville-based songwriters Bre Kennedy and Kyle Dreaden, Keepintouch sees Love You Later confronting her discomfort with being alone and, subsequently, her journey towards finding peace and catharsis in learning to like her own company. I am really enjoying the tone of her voice and how passionate and dynamic her vocal delivery is, gliding beautifully over the upbeat melodies. I am also very fond of the groovy guitar riffs which are nicely paired with punchy drums and lush synths that create addictive alt-pop earworms and make the song perfect for radios and for those chill summer days outside. Check it out below!
Explaining how the inspiration for the single came about, she says, My boyfriend had just left for tour a few weeks prior and my friends were all starting to date people - of course, I wanted to be happy for the people I loved, but in all honesty it was really hard. I almost felt this sense of disconnection from myself like I had forgotten how to be alone. We finally came up with the concept for the song once I came to this strange realization - I felt more connected to myself when I had other people around me, but I knew that I really needed to learn to be alone again in order to truly feel connected with myself. And I also wanted to express the fear of losing the people I loved in the process. It’s pretty much summed up in the tag of the song: I’m losing touch with everyone else / trying to keep in touch with myself.
