Loraine – everywhere I go (2026)
Grief is something that we have all had to or will have to face at some point in our lives. While everyone experiences this differently, Loraine is here to offer a hopeful take on grief through her powerful single ‘everywhere I go’. Originally born from the loss of friends in her late teens and early twenties, the track took on a new life when she unexpectedly lost two more friends between recording and releasing the song. Pouring her own healing process into each note, she has created a poignant single that honours those who she has lost and taps into the relatable feeling of grief that many know so well.
The tracking of the vocals was done outdoors at Polychrome Ranch, leading to the incorporation of organic atmospheric tones with the acoustic guitar for a warm and summery feeling. This single continues the philosophy of Loraine’s music as she transforms her personal experiences into universal moments of connection and healing. With an introspective creative process, she has developed a sound that perfectly blends the organic world with modern synthetic musical elements for a truly emotive and immersive listening experience.
The song starts with an electronic note that meets the light touch of Loraine’s vocals. Beneath her vocals, the piano rises and lifts her performance as it is elevated above the electronic tones. There is a beautiful blend to the melody that has a fast beat that taps your sternum while the lighter tones settle on your skin like a delicate mist. The organic tones of the Polychrome Ranch are subtle as they peek out between the modern and electronic notes. Through everything in the melody, the vocals are a tender touch that leads you into the emotions of the track.
Loraine’s performance is emotive and breathy at times. You can feel the tinges of grief woven into darker moments only to flow into a more hopeful feeling as the track progresses. The arrangement and movement of the single is masterful as each element builds on the one before to delve into loss but bring a new perspective of hope. Through the performance, the universal feelings of grief are acknowledged, letting you know you aren’t alone in what you feel before Loraine gently directs you to a process of healing and keeping those you lost close. The latter half is poignant as you are filled with the sense that those lost are always with us even when they are no longer physically around.
