Rawan releases smooth new R&B, touching on zombie relationships on “Lazy Lover”
New Jersey-born Egyptian-American singer-songwriter Rawan dropped her single “Lazy Lover” back in June, but that hasn’t stopped it from reverberating throughout the scene. It’s quintessential R&B: a laid-back, smooth track laced with soft, consistent snares atop a canvas of creamy horns.
“Lazy Lover” takes us through the pitfalls of modern dating, as the singer reflects on the absent yet simple things that slowly sap the excitement from relationships, with those involved watching the gradual deterioration of a once-strong bond. Paying attention to the lyrics, we see the song play out as a reflection on what once was, with both a sense of apathy and regret taking centre stage. The artist, real name Rawan Maarouf, drops her latest single off the back of her debut EP, Worn Out Lover.
