I don’t wanna be the sun, I wanna be the moon.
For years, I have referred to certain songs, albums, and EPs as, “Indie Dreams” or “Folk Dreams”. Listening to Carly Opacic’s latest EP release, Luna, certainly lives up to those titles, as they feel like you are in some sort of dreamland.
Starting off with Intro, I can already feel myself being transformed into this dream that I cannot even begin to describe. The words being spoken in this already showcase how good of an introduction this is. It’s a beautiful form of poetry. As it approaches towards the end, It only makes you wonder what is next to come with this EP and what we can expect.
Next, we head off to the title track of the EP, of course Luna - The very start of the song transported my thoughts to scenes of myself cruising down a California highway with the beach in the background, as this song plays on a high level on the radio.
Luna reminds me of the songs I enjoyed the most in high school, so in a way, it brought back some pretty nostalgic memories. The songwriting is very fresh, and Carly’s vocals only adds to that musical satisfaction.
Loved You is more of a folk ballad. Her vocals on this track are very reminiscent of a Kate Nash song of any kind. I’m thinking more of Nash’s song, OMYGOD! It’s a beautiful track and the lyrics are just as exquisite.
The last two tracks of this EP are Sincerely and Farther. While I really enjoyed Sincerely, If I’m being honest, Farther is a song that I can definitely see being a fan favorite… And I am not just saying that because it’s my personal favorite track. With Carly’s vocals and the sound of the instruments, this song is one to put you in a good mood.
Overall, Carly brought something amazing to the table with Luna. It certainly is a great little dreamy EP. Every track just gets better and better and Carly continued to amaze me in every track. She is gonna go places.
Luna is out now!
