There’s power in simplicity on the latest tune from golda. “Dear Los Angeles” is a testament in dulcet tones to the love/hate relationship that many musicians and creatives alike share with the City of Angels. Lyrically searching for off-ramp in the haze of the city’s constant push for productivity, achievement, and stardom, golda’s fervent vocals convey the struggles she faced with tenderness and vulnerability. The emotion of the song is heightened by the beautiful push and pull in the melody’s oscillation between steady verses and a whirling, ascending vocal riff. golda brings to life her heart’s reflection of Los Angeles with minimal pieces that dip and soar until succumbing to a humble farewell.
