Earlier this month, indie pop newcomer Bülow released a visual to go with her mellow, “set him straight” single “Lines”. The video itself is mesmerizing, as it is essentially a repeating gif of the singer, blowing smoke out of her mouth and looking at vinyl on her bed. Comprised of several camera angles, the video traces her profile in dim light, as we make out a simplistic decor behind her, a big map spread out behind her headboard. The video seems to be a good little look behind the scenes into the life of the young musician, as she mellifluously sets boundaries to a steady beat.
Megan Bülow – the seventeen year old pop artist from the Netherlands that goes by Bülow – is just shy of graduating high school, but is breaking out of her shell with her recently released debut EP Damaged Vol 1. The glittering lead single – “Not A Love Song” – sets an upbeat tone to the introduction of this true talent, whose rasp-tinged vocals are the perfect ear candy for your weekend. Her lyrical honesty and ability to allow her vocals to float almost effortlessly over the production is a telltale sign of lasting power, and we can’t wait to see what’s to come from this smooth talker.
Admits Bülow of the track:
“Not A Love Song” is about the excitement of meeting someone for the first time. Initially it feels so new and overwhelmingly good, but eventually I decided I wasn’t ready for that commitment. Or at least that’s what I told myself. You can’t let lust fool you. Be honest with yourself, If it’s not meant to be it’s not meant to be, but doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!
