Loveless – AKA Julian Comeau and Dylan Tirapelli-Jamail – formed in late 2019 and over the past two yeas have earned themselves considerable attention and acclaim thanks to their impressive collaborations with Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens and Tyler Smith of Dangerkids as well as a number of hard-hitting singles. Their new track “sorry i’m a downer”, which PopWrapped are delighted to premiere, is a power-ballad blending melodic pop, emo and post hardcore influences, and addresses the feelings and experiences that come with wanting to find your way out of a low point in life, something which will no doubt resonate with thousands, if not millions, given the struggles and hardships of the last eighteen months.

Julian says of the song: “With Loveless, I always strive to maintain a bit of chaos. On a surface level, ‘sorry i’m a downer’ feels like any other song you might hear on pop rock radio, like the sound of driving through PCH with your windows down, but on a closer listen the lyrics delve into all kinds of struggles like anxiety, depression, and self-sabotage. There’s something both unnerving and oddly comforting about using a major key and a cheerful melody to describe one’s own pain, and it has become somewhat of a staple in the way I write.”

Asked about how the song-writing process and lyrics impacted the video shoot, he adds: “…when it came time to film the video, we didn’t want to take ourselves too seriously. There’s always that element of wanting to be perceived as these mega cool dudes in a rock band, but when it came down to it that was not the identity of this song and that’s not who we are. It had to be unapologetically us: silly, angsty, flaws and all.”
