L’Rain, the sprawling project of Taja Cheek, will soon be hitting the road on the highly anticipated Re:Set concert series, alongside LCD Soundsystem, Jamie XX, and Big Freedia.
She was back Tuesday, June 6, with a new song. It’s her first material since 2021’s Fatigue. Cleverly titled “New Year’s UnResolution,” the track explores glimmering, hypnotic sonic territory, and its lyrical content meanders through the murk of a complicated relationship.
About “New Year’s UnResolution,” she said:
“The words of this song were written at different periods of time to give a sense of what it’s like to think through the trajectory of a relationship at different points of my life — right after a break up, and many moons later. I wonder: what is it like to feel like you’ve forgotten a part of yourself?; how does time pass differently at different moments in your life? (like molasses, like water, like air); how do you set new terms of engagement with someone you’ve interacted with in a very specific way for a long time?; how do you deal with the turmoil of stepping into a distant unknown after a period of fierce intimacy?”
