Get ready for an amazing musical experience with the latest release from indie-folk singer-songwriter Diane Louvel. Her new single, “Better Than You,” is a sneak peek into her upcoming album, Above and Beyond.
In “Better Than You,” Louvel delves into the complexities of remaining in a toxic relationship, exploring the dual role of architect and victim.
According to Louvel, “The lyrics are somewhat rational and analytical with spikes of ‘WTF am I thinking’ woven in.”
As she sings, “But I’ll say yes to everything / ‘Cause I’ve got nothing better to do / And I make the same mistake I made before / Keeping one hand frozen on the door / I may be a fool but I’d rather be a jester / ‘Cause man, no one bums me out better than you,” Louvel’s emotive performance captures the essence of the song.
Hailing from New York City and Paris, Louvel’s upbringing in two vibrant cultural hubs, coupled with the loss of her brother, has deeply influenced her music. Her evocative sound and haunting vocals evoke the spirit of Joni Mitchell meets Ethel Cain.
“Better Than You” combines elements of alt-country and folk-pop, with Louvel’s achingly beautiful guitar work setting the tone for the introspective lyrics. Her soulful vocals convey a sense of longing and regret, painting a vivid picture of the emotions she grapples with.
Vulnerable and powerful, “Better Than You” showcases Louvel’s exceptional talent as both a vocalist and songwriter.
