Lazy Sunsets, the solo project of songwriter Pete Stephenson, has just released their latest dance-pop track “Rainbow Memories.” This infectious tune creates a feeling of both nostalgia and energy, with its catchy chorus, intricate guitar work, and emotional lyrics.
“Rainbow Memories” is the fourth release from Lazy Sunsets, a solo project that has been gaining attention in the music scene for its signature sound of warm nostalgia with beautiful melodies and satisfying instrumentals. With this latest release, Lazy Sunsets continues to capture the sentimentality of life and love through music.
Inspired by the universal phenomenon of lost love and the bittersweet reminiscence that comes with it, “Rainbow Memories” features an ensemble collaboration with talented musicians from the US, UK, and Australia. Every element of the song was carefully constructed with amazing work by incredible artists.
From its vibrant bass line to the strong vocals, the song was designed for repeat plays with its toe-tapping and layered sound. The upbeat sound combined with the sadness of the lyrics and theme creates a dynamic that keeps listeners engaged.
Lazy Sunsets, based on the Gold Coast in Australia, is a recent addition to the music scene, with their first song “Tomorrow” released in 2022. Pete composes the songs and collaborates with his producer and other talented artists.
His sound is best described as nostalgia pop, with pleasing and optimistic chord progressions, attractive melodies, and dreamy sounds countered by sad or sentimental themes, which hold the listener’s attention on repeat plays.
Pete’s songwriting method is to start with a chord progression, develop the chorus and main hook, and then build the melody using predominantly chord tones, which gives a feeling of warmth and familiarity. The lyrics often come quickly with the melody and are more channeled rather than constructed.
Lazy Sunsets’ music is a complete passion project for Pete, and he works full-time, which means he’s not under time constraints to release songs. The first criteria for a song he plans to release is whether he would want to listen to it repeatedly himself. He writes songs from his own experiences and perspectives but has a female vocalist and mainly female team, creating a dynamic that assists in wider appeal.
With “Rainbow Memories,” Lazy Sunsets continues to capture the sentimentality of life and love through music, leaving listeners hooked on their unique and infectious sound. Don’t miss out on this rising solo project – listen to “Rainbow Memories” below!
