LYN LAPID RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE “BUTTONS”
Rising singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Lyn Lapid is back today with her latest single “buttons”, which is released alongside a visualizer video.
On the meaning behind the song, Lyn says, “I feel like ‘buttons’ is the coziest song I’ve ever put out. It’s about the warm feelings of having a crush on someone you don’t really know anything about. There’s something fun about the mystery and excitement of wanting to get close to someone you admire. I’ve recently started having those feelings for the first time after a really long time and I do miss the feeling, at least in the early stages of having a crush. Something about the childishness of it is refreshing, and I feel like ‘buttons’ perfectly captures that.”
The catchy track continues a new era for Lapid and teases what’s to come with her highly anticipated and soon-to-be-announced debut album, which features her most personal and vulnerable songwriting to date. Earlier this spring, she unveiled her collaborations “back from the dead” feat. mxmtoon and “Cruise Control” feat. Whethan, as well as featured on Eric Nam’s single “Wish I Didn’t Care.” Not to mention, she performed a packed set on the main stage of New York’s Head In The Clouds Festival.
Over the past few years, Lyn Lapid’s star has continued to rise, as Billboard declared, “[She] is proving her mettle as an artist in her own right.” In 2022, the 22-year-old pop songstress dropped her long-awaited debut EP The Outsider, which was dedicated to all “the outsiders” like herself and featured the Gold-Certified “In My Mind” and fan favorites “I Guess That Was Goodbye” and “The Outsider.” The EP received critical acclaim from the likes of Billboard, UPROXX, Hypebae, and more, with Atwood Magazine naming her an “exceptional artist-to-watch.” In 2023, Lyn teamed up with Canadian singer and songwriter Ruth B. on “do u really?” leading into the to love in the 21st centurychapter, which includes her sophomore EP to love in the 21st century and deluxe version to love in the 21st century: the epilogue. The project drew inspiration from fan favorite Gen Z rom-coms, including To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and The Summer I Turned Pretty, and told the story of the beginning, middle, and end of a relationship, capturing all the emotions of a first love. LADYGUNN praised the EP, saying, “to love in the 21st century as a project speaks volumes about the type of person Lyn Lapid is – she and the album are filled with fearless vulnerability and impeccable storytelling.” Watch the to love in the 21st century short film.
Not to mention, Lapid sold out her headline tours across North America this past year, and also joined Nam, Ricky Montgomery, and Claire Rosinkranz on the road. Surpassing over 700 million global streams across her catalog and amassing 5 million TikTok followers to date, Lyn Lapid has affirmed herself as a rising artist to watch.
