Polly Money’s new single Roommate sweeps in like the warm embrace from a person you’ve missed so hard, a little reprieve from the cold January darkness that meets many of us at this point in the year.
The soft, melodic pop layered with vulnerable lyrics here reminds me of Clairo, one of my favourite artists from last year. Capturing the desperate intimacy of needing to wake up with a certain someone and nothing else mattering, the song describes a feeling that home is another person, not walls and a roof. Talking about the song, Polly says:
“This song is the undeniable need to spend all of your hours lost in the person you love. Their place or yours it doesn’t matter as long as you are waking up next to them. It’s the surprise late night turn ups, it’s the falling head over and it’s wanting to build a home together. This song is for the hopeless romantics.”
