Ahead of his eagerly awaited headline tour this fall, Letdown. has teamed up with LØLØ for a heart-wrenching collaboration, “Be Ok.” The single doubles as the title track for Letdown.’s highly anticipated studio album, set to release on November 15.
“I was so focused on my love for someone else that I didn’t realize how much it was actually shooting me in the foot,” Letdown. mastermind Blake Coddington shares. “I didn’t understand that everything could be better if this was over. At the same time, it immediately says, ‘I never thought I’d miss you this way.’ It’s something I think about all the time. I left everything negative in my life that has affected me, but I still think about it in a way that is almost like I miss it. It’s a weird headspace to live in—to hate something and know it’s gone, but still want it somehow. I think it’s something that everyone feels, and a lot of people don’t talk about that much.”
Guided by a gentle acoustic strum, Coddington’s vocals soar across a lush wave of layered percussion and shimmering synthetic melodies. LØLØ‘s emotive delivery intertwines seamlessly with Letdown’s, infusing the track with a palpable sense of longing and creating a push and pull between the artists as the instrumentation swells beneath their vocals. The accompanying cinematic music video intensifies the track’s heartbreaking impact. Check out “Be Ok” below.
