Liz
Remi Wolf
Eclectic, warm, and genuinely strange in all the right ways, "Liz" showcases Remi Wolf's uncanny ability to render interpersonal devotion through a production that sounds like four genres in amiable conversation. Funky guitar runs share space with horn stabs and layered backing vocals, all under Wolf's elastic, joyfully unpredictable lead. Her delivery here is intimate and affectionate — the song is a kind of portrait, specific enough in its detail that the listener doesn't need to know Liz personally to feel the particularized love behind it. The production aesthetic draws from '70s soul and funk without retreating into pastiche, always tilted by the idiosyncratic digital textures Wolf threads through her music. There's an effortless interracial, inter-genre hybridity to the song's DNA that reflects Wolf's sonic worldview. Best heard at mid-afternoon, maybe with good food involved — the track has an almost synesthetic gustatory quality, warm and abundant.
