B-Side Guys

Minutes into Luise’s latest EP opener, a paradox emerges: “Ocean of love but we float on the surface.” Released two weeks ago, “Listen To Your Inner Voice” refuses to stay in the shallows, plunging instead into depths where nu-disco grooves meet soul-baring confession.

The track’s production architecture draws from multiple blueprints – Jessie Ware’s polished R&B, Róisín Murphy’s avant-disco experiments – while carving out its own sonic identity. Hypnotic synthesizer patterns create a dreamlike foundation for Luise’s vocals, which shift from introspective murmurs to crystalline declarations: “I am all I want and more.”

This journey through self-discovery finds its pulse in contrasts. “Sometimes I feel good / Sometimes someone pulls me back / To my roots,” Luise admits, the production’s electronic sheen offset by organic vulnerability. When she speaks of “mood swings / That I fight with to find balance,” the track’s genre-fluid approach becomes more than aesthetic choice – it’s emotional storytelling through sound.

The chorus builds its power through repetition and revelation. “Doubt anyone ever noticed” transforms from lament to liberation as layers of vocals interweave, creating a private kingdom where “I’ll let the ones who love / Sing loud thoughts.” It’s a space where flaws aren’t hidden but “undressed,” where faults aren’t judged but “washed.”

What elevates “Listen To Your Inner Voice” beyond standard self-empowerment fare is its willingness to acknowledge the messiness of growth. The line “That’s when people call me rude” lands like a shrug rather than an apology, floating above disco-tinged beats that suggest dancing through judgment rather than drowning in it.
