Wolfpup creates an irresistible electro-ballad hybrid on new single ‘Empty Lanes’

It’s not every day that you hear a pop song that makes you feel heavy with emotion while simultaneously making you want to dance. But up-and-coming Sydney artist Wolfpup has done just that. 

The new single Empty Lanes sees Wolfpup push the boundaries of genre through profound lyrical honesty, creating a seamlessly produced pop track that ticks every box.

On Empty Lanes, Wolfpup makes you want to cry or dance or maybe both; either way you’ll be itching to delve into her psyche and getting bopping while you’re at it. 

Previous tracks from Wolfpup have created a small stir in the Sydney scene, with attention from several radio stations and publications. The artist has wholeheartedly declared to the world that her most profound thoughts and emotions will be the narrator of her music and the drive of her authentic sound.

This sentiment truly shines in Empty Lanes, where Wolfpup uprightly spills every part of her; even the bits that might not appear too pretty. But this creates a far more compelling lyrical narrative that adds a distinctive beauty to her sonic delivery. 

Empty Lanes was recorded and produced by Jhay C at Studios 301 and mastered by Leon Zervos, also from Studios 301. The result of their collaboration is an energetic dance track; a retrospective ballad about finding a place in the world, dwelling over lost or wasted time, and oozing a tinge of anxiety which makes the track as raw and candid as it could possibly be.

The shifts of time that we embrace reluctantly, as well as unexpected and unexplainable changes that form us, have worked to inspire the track’s lyrics. Reflecting on the track, Wolfpup stated:

‘I’d spent a year interstate when I came home; everything had changed. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was the people around me. All my former coworkers had moved into new jobs, my friends had finished their degrees, everyone I knew had gone places. I’m not sure, I think it’s a part of growing up. I couldn’t relate to anyone anymore, I couldn’t share my stories, and I didn’t understand theirs.’

This feeling of disconnect and the struggle to re-develop a sense of belonging which Wolfpup conveys in the track truly strikes a chord with Aussie youth. To tie these ideas with a flawlessly produced dance track fit for any night-club is from a distance and unusual concept, but works perfectly on Empty Lanes.
