“Twisted Reality” is an honest, raw, and cathartic soundscape that looks jealously directly in the face.
Meet SoFIA Lainovic: a 24-year-old alt-pop-indie fusion musician from Munich, Germany. With an effortless creative flow and soulful delivery, it comes as no surprise that Lainovic has been taking the stage since 2016.
Her latest release “Twisted Reality” takes off with a gritty grimy distorted (rock-blues) guitar. As we begin to hear muffled electrifying whispers creep in, an unsettling edge is added into the mix…
“Twisted Reality” is meta off the bat, reflecting on the music-making process and comparing yourself to other artists.
Looks like I can’t write a single word no more
And I feel like I only know the common chords
Ethereal spaced-out organ-like keys enter, and a new emotional flavor takes over: Uncertainty. As her voice melts into the guitars like a pad of butter on a filet mignon, we sink into a dark oblivion.
We then enter the sonic space of a vintage jazz lounge, classy and elegant, and begin to succumb to the topsy-turvey emotions of life. Lainovic’s voice shifts, her effortless vibrato adds a certain sweetness to the song, like how brown sugar makes Cuban espresso worth drinking…
A snare takes up the backbeat as she asks herself: Is this just jealousy? Has my insecurity gotten the best of me?
As we stand on uneven ground, the guitars ramp up the longing. The bridge crescendoes into a wondering…
How do you rearrange the past?
See what you see through your eyes?
Brave the white waters of life, by diving into “Twisted Reality” a tune that fuses the darkness of blues-rock, the feminine strength of Joan Jett, and the nostalgic languorousness of jazz into one masterpiece.
“Twisted Reality” is a single from the 2024 album Autopilot.
