Buffalo-born songwriter and producer Lynz started making music at the young age of 12, performing at local festivals, venues, and charity events. She then went on to produce her debut album, Dusk At Dawn, at the age of 16, before winning the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame songwriting competition. Following the win, Lynz was awarded a full scholarship from the GRAMMY Camp to study Audio Engineering at the University of Southern California, all whilst she was still in high school.
Having since moved to Los Angeles, Lynz has been further enhancing her production capabilities at Westlake Studios whilst building a standing as a sought after collaborator on the LA indie-pop scene. Just Wanna Be Yours is Lynz’s second release in 2025, following on from the playful Fallin’.
Where Fallin’ taps the fizzy excitement of new-found attraction, Lynz’s follow up represents a darker side to love. The playfulness is gone, and in its place, a gently strummed guitar channels the naked vulnerability of someone yearning to have their affection reciprocated. As the song progresses, however, the guitar is consumed by synths, creating a cool yet somewhat aloof feeling.
The instrumental pairing reflects the central tension of the song. Whilst the song’s title and chorus could be mistaken as those of a conventional love song, a closer listen to the lyrics reveals that Just Wanna Be Yours is really about the push and pull of love. Lynz’s vocal reflects a need to pull away, even while knowing she is hurting her partner. The music builds to a dramatic crescendo before fading away, leaving the song’s central plea front and centre, presumably alone, with Lynz having already left.
Lynz’s latest single is one of several set for release this year, ahead of a planned sophomore album. The sophisticated production and emotive vocal performance of Just Wanna Be Yours mark her as one to watch.
