Coming from Nashville-born, Brooklyn-based alt pop newcomer Frau, Truth is the second single taken from her forthcoming debut album, Flutter.
Anchored around a dream-like vocal, Truth leverages glitchy vocal techniques to accentuate Frau’s extended overdubbed harmonies, her vocal pulsing as they mutate into additional layers of instrumentation. Synth pads surround those vocals, splashes of cool blue and warm yellow atop Frau’s clean robotic soundscape. The overall effect invokes the surprisingly human electronic experimentation of both Caroline Polachek and Imogen Heap.
Produced by Michael Deano (SZA and Remi Wolf) and brand0, Truth reflects an urge to be a light for someone, drawing them in, and embracing that vulnerability. As Frau sings on the track, ‘I’m okay with losing and that’s the truth’. Describing the track, Frau says:
‘I don’t usually write about my relationship, but the words came before the thought. I remember tracking vocals next to the soft beat of a moth colliding with our kitchen lamp and that became the premise of the song. The desire to always be close to light.
