Artist of the Week: Arlo Parks
I believe only her website can define her best.
According to the Arlo Parks official website, “Luscious, expressive vignettes pepper the poetic lyrics in her sweet, ruminative indie-pop songs.” Parks’ lyrics meld perfectly with the tunes and indie rhythms throughout her career.
At 20, this artist has achieved a lot. She has met personnel such as Michelle Obama, Hayley Williams of Paramore and the Glass Animals.
After listening to “Hope” and “Too Good,” I realized there was such a smooth, light-sounding voice that could easily wake me up in the morning looking for more in life. Parks had me wanting more so I looked on YouTube and saw the brightest smile. She lit up my day before I had the chance to hear more music.
According to Spotify, Arlo Parks has 2.5 million listeners and we all cannot help but realize there will be more to come. I cannot wait to listen to more upcoming albums and look back on her Lo-Fi lounge playlist.
