Holly Munro’s Out of Style: A Faded Photograph of Love’s Decline
Irish songstress Holly Munro isn’t afraid to rip open the seams of a failing relationship.
Her latest single, Out of Style, is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that dissects the quiet death of love by communication neglect.
Munro says of her new single: “This song is about a relationship falling apart because of not talking about your problems. It reminisces the good times, while at the same time recognising that something has changed”.
Munro’s voice, both captivating and distinct, floats over a melancholic melody, as she sings of whispered regrets and bittersweet memories.
The lyrics paint a picture of a love story fading like a forgotten photograph – the vibrant hues of happiness replaced by the muted tones of unspoken truths.
Out of Style isn’t a fiery breakup anthem; it’s a poignant lament for what could have been.
This single serves as a tantalizing first taste of Munro’s upcoming EP, A Crescendo Ending.
Described as a journey through complex relationships, self-discovery, and sexuality, the EP promises a deep dive into Munro’s evolving identity.
If Out of Style is any indication, A Crescendo Ending is poised to be a coming-of-age tour de force. A poignant exploration of the messy yet transformative years between youth and adulthood.
Munro’s willingness to confront vulnerability and grapple with self-discovery promises a deeply personal and relatable listening experience.
Out of Style isn’t just a song; it’s a reminder to cherish the present and mend communication’s fraying threads before love becomes truly out of fashion.
So, close your eyes, and let Holly Munro’s melancholic melody wash over you.
A Crescendo Ending is the sophomore EP from Holly Munro, set to be released on June 20th with Kartel Music Group.
Holly Munro Out of Style Lyrics
I meant to tell you
Something wasn’t right
You meant to tell me
That your not ready to fight
But hope got ahead of us
So we didn’t try
I just can’t get the moment
Out of my mind
Our love is out of fashion
Our words are out of style
I still remember clearly
How I used to make you smile
Ooh, ooh
In your jumper I cried
When the film we were watching
Was our life
And you kissed me
You’d swear it was timed
Literally making history
In flood lights
Our love is out of fashion
Our words are out of style
I still remember clearly
How I used to make you smile
Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh
Our love is out of fashion
Our words are out of style
I still remember clearly
How I used to make you smile
