With Her New Single “It’s Alright,” Swedish Artist LOVA Offers a Pop Pep Talk That Comforts Without Spectacle
Picture a sea-glass morning where the tide is gentle but insistent; that’s LOVA’s new single “It’s Alright”, a salt-clean pop confession that refuses to let numbness ossify. The Swedish singer-songwriter frames candor as a habit, not a spectacle, letting electro-pop filaments glow under indie-pop brushstrokes while a soft, metronomic drum pulse keeps the bloodstream moving. Produced by Oskar Wildén, the arrangement is deliberately spare—keys like frost on a window, guitar vapor, bass in slow, humane heartbeats—so her voice can braid comfort and provocation in the same breath.
The lyric arc is deceptively simple: a pep talk that turns the mirror around. LOVA spots the practiced grin, the “sweet, sweet lies,” and answers with a hand on the shoulder rather than a sermon. The chorus doesn’t erupt; it opens—a window latch lifted to let oxygen in, the rhythm nudging hips without hijacking them. You feel quietly taller by verse two, as if someone straightened the picture frames in your chest.
Objectively, “It’s Alright” succeeds because it privileges proportion. Nothing shouts, so everything lands. The drums’ restrained lift gives the chill mood a gentle uptick, granting motion to reflection; the topline traces memorable contours without melodrama. If there’s a gamble, it’s the very restraint that makes the track elegant: listeners craving a maximalist bloom may crave a later crescendo. Yet the song’s thesis needs room, not fireworks. LOVA suggests that wanting more is a muscle; this record warms it, then sends you back into color, ready to say what you actually mean. For real.
