Psych-pop songwriter/producer, Lemonade Shoelace – the moniker of Belfast’s Ruairí Richman – is closing out 2023 with quite the memorable track!
“Soul Syndrome” follows the release of Richman’s 2023 debut EP, Do Whatever Makes You Happy, and is a surefire hit that shall be making waves in 2024.
Effortlessly blending dream, indie, psychedelic and bedroom pop, “Soul Syndrome” is bound to be on everyone’s playlists in no time. Think: Gypsy & The Cat meets Juliper Sky and Tame Impala.
“‘Soul Syndrome’ is a song about how your thoughts and self-beliefs are the most prominent barrier between you and your dreams. As said in the song, if you let your thoughts become feelings, you can do anything alone – but beware: it depends on what you think about. Positive thoughts equal positive feelings and outcomes, and negative thoughts and beliefs will hold you back from ever attempting to achieve your highest aspirations,” shared the singer.
“To me, the phrase ‘Soul Syndrome’ describes the state in which you aren’t following your true purpose or your dreams in life, but are yet to actively do something to change it. We are humans, and it’s not our fault that we have so many limiting beliefs and anxieties around being an ‘adult;’ and it certainly doesn’t help having an education system that merely just teaches us how to ‘get a job’ and ‘earn money.’ I know we are all worth so much more than that, and I truly hope these words or this song helps even just one person in the slightest.”
