Addicting dark dream pop has been flooding into mainstream pop recently, and Carlyn continues her indie haunting pop anthems with the release of her awesome new single, titled “Try To Get Away”. The lyrics dive into toxic desire and how it can be difficult to say no to a lustful relationship that clearly doesn’t work, whilst surrounded by a driving beat that easily makes this dance floor ready. This acts as the follow-up to her previous single “Bad Habit”.
Carlyn is a promising newcomer to the pop music scene, emerging with her own unique style that she has aptly coined as ‘nightmare pop’. joining the ranks of acclaimed artists like Billie Eilish and Madison Beer. Carlyn’s music delves into the realms of dark indie-dream aesthetics, characterised by haunting melodies and introspective lyricism. However, it would be unwise to confine her music to a specific mould, as Carlyn possesses a remarkable ability to adapt and defy expectations. Her artistic expression extends beyond her music, with a distinct fashion sense that fuses elements reminiscent of Tyler, the Creator and Miley Cyrus. This multifaceted artist is one to watch closely. Collaborating with producers House of Wolf, last year, Carlyn released her debut single, “Sleeping With Penelope”, a poignant reflection on vulnerability and truth, providing a glimpse into her captivating world. With tens of thousands of Spotify streams already under her belt, with the single “Spit” being her most-streamed track on the platform, it is clear that her talent and distinctive sound are resonating with audiences. As she continues to carve her path in the music industry, Carlyn’s enigmatic artistry is sure to leave an indelible mark.
Lustful desire is wrapped around this flirty haunting track, with Carlyn giving fierce vocals around twisty melodies. “Try To Get Away” is unique in a variety of ways with a driving dance beat layered over dark indie pop that transforms towards the end into electro-tech, suggesting that the song itself is having difficulty trying to get away – believe us when we say that we’re just as addicted to playing this track, repeatedly. Carlyn also makes the track vocally intricate, with beautiful runs, an addicting chorus, and she flips the last bridge transforming a line into a spoken-word lyric, effortlessly showcasing her versatility as an artist whilst also experimenting and capturing her audience. Flirty and sensual, giving a sense of uncontrollable desire around a lustful relationship, Carlyn is relatable with these lyrics, explaining the difficulties of not letting the heart get what it wants, making “Try To Get Away” a powerful track that allows her to showcase her flawless songwriting abilities.
“It’s a song you can dance along to but when you really listen close to the words it becomes haunting,” says Carlyn. “It’s almost an aural illusion, depending on how you listen to the song it can bring two different feelings.”
