After a significant break, Caroline Sallee is making a comeback with news of a new Caroline Says album titled The Lucky One. This will be the Brooklyn-based artist’s third album and her first since releasing two LPs in 2017 and 2018. Fans won’t have to wait long, as the album is set to arrive in October.
To kick things off, Caroline has released the lead single, “Faded And Golden,” which is now available for listening. The song begins with the poignant lyrics, “The house where you don’t live no more/ When I drive by I still call it yours,” capturing a deep sense of nostalgia and longing. As the track unfolds, it beautifully showcases the melancholy sophistication that has made Caroline Says a hidden gem in the underground music scene. Fans of bands like The Clientele and Yo La Tengo will likely find much to appreciate in this new release.
Caroline Sallee also shared her thoughts on the song, reflecting on the nature of relationships:
“Relationships are, first and foremost, ideas. That’s what allows relationships to persist even when we’re apart. We may yearn for an old friend or lover, especially one from our teenage years and our hometown. But there is a bittersweetness to any reunion. They may shatter the memory we’ve made of them.”
This introspective perspective adds another layer of depth to “Faded And Golden,” making it a song that resonates with the complexities of human connections.
As we anticipate the full release of The Lucky One in October, “Faded And Golden” offers a glimpse into the emotional richness that Caroline Says continues to bring to her music. Be sure to give it a listen below.
