Pauline Herr is a Los Angeles-based creator that’s a true triple threat.
As a producer, singer, and songwriter, the rising star has been exploring vulnerable and visceral themes through the filters of trap, wave, and experimental pop music. Her new single “Lightyears” marks her incredible debut on Lost In Dreams Records.
Showcasing her ever-evolving sound, Pauline Herr mixes electropop and trance influences for a stunning and engrossing ballad. Emotive piano keys and mystifying soundscapes conjure a dreamlike sensibility. The wistful lyrics are delivered through a silky falsetto, creating a sense of deep love and connection. The track centers around the power of having that special someone to give you infallible strength. The starry melodies and otherworldly undertones give way to electrifying trance-inspired drops that are brimming with dance-ready energy. The shift elevates the track to a festival-friendly anthem without losing the gravity of its emotional ties. Uplifting arpeggiations and woozy pads round out “Lightyears,” amounting to an out-of-body ascent.
Pauline Herr delves into the inspiration behind the single saying, “‘Lightyears’ is an emotional anthem about finding your person, whether that’s a friend, a partner, a pet, or family. I wanted to create something that had a strong, emotional vocal and an uplifting trance-inspired drop. The song’s production showcases my love for uplifting piano melodies, arpeggiators, and vocal atmospheres.”
