Exploring Identity - Local Rainbow Releases new single ‘I Love Your Ex’

Local rainbow has returned with all her vibrance and charm for new track ‘I Love Your Ex’. A combination of pop punk, combined with her more signature bedroom pop sound sees her swing in a new direction, exploring new themes. 

Strong power chords open, the title ‘I Love Your Ex’ already becoming catchy. The higher vocal range is showcased as you move into the chorus. The pop punk influence shines through here, the steady drum beat building before a strategic pause. 

The inclusion of layered vocals makes the track more dynamic adding an interesting component. The repeated lyrics continue to stick with you, coupled with the energetic chords the song has a playful feel. 

The bridge switches up the tone, drawing your focus to the lyrics through dragged out, angelic vocals and a slower tempo. 

The track is a wonderful showcase of the queer experience, girlhood and exploring identity. Discussing the power of women coming together after a bad relationship to discovering sexuality. 

The track doesn’t miss the opportunity to build one final time, the drums drawing you into a final chorus.

‘I Love Your Ex’ is vulnerable in lyrics and lively in sound. Local Rainbow highlights her impressive vocal range once again with a lo-fi feel. The themes are open, honesty elevating the track. ‘I Love Your Ex’ is a creative representation of identity.
