A raw, emotional cry into the echoing void of longing, “loosing game” by Aestrea is a plea for love.
The 16-year-old Atlanta-based singer-songwriter-producer triple threat channels her disheartening quest for love into sharp songwriting that resonates with everyone’s feelings of emptiness. “It’s really hard for me to find love,” she wrote. “I’ve never actually fallen in love but I’ve gotten close so many times – but they always leave.” Her lofty vocals throughout the 2:18-minute track conjure up the hopelessness she feels from being let down time and time again. On the other hand, she still believes in love, and she hasn’t given up on her search for it. “Maybe it’s impossible, but I’ve just gotten used to it,” she sings. Hardening her heart after each let-down, Aestrea is tired of feeling used and ready to meet someone to awaken the love she’s ready to give. The soft rock shoe-gaze instrumentation is the perfect pairing with Aestrea’s lyricism. The chords strike hard into the emotions of listeners – whether you’re currently going through it or not, it’s easy to appreciate the dreamy contemplations of “loosing game.” This single is definitely the track to play after your next break-up, or whenever your feeling romantically aimless. “Loosing game” will speak to your bleeding heart, but hold you up and give you new hope.
