LonelyTwin's "This End Had No Beginning" Is a Debut Album Worth Celebrating


Imagine a celestial dispatch, a signal from a parallel world... familiar but unique, alien but also a warm wave of deja vu, a conversation with your most aware, poetic self. That is the brilliant nature of LonelyTwin’s debut album This End Had No Beginning, a wondrous journey of new sounds wrapped in familiar themes, a menacing awareness pushing a beautiful narrative rarely felt on debut releases.

Native to Stockholm and a veteran writer, this project represents “what is most me,” a change from curating and crafting for other artists. And the result is impressively intimate, a coping mechanism structured into pure pop majesty, a voice so wondrously reserved one moment, straining with tonal intricacies the next. 

The mastery of this can be grandly credited to LonelyTwin herself, as this is a self-produced work, and its composition reflects her deliberate emotive input: blood-pumping rhythms paired with chilling lyrics, bright and light melodies dancing over progressively complex soundscapes, a work of earnest approachability despite its nuanced complexity. The freedom afforded by being both the producer and composer is self-evident. Every song conjures up daydream-like collections of thoughts and themes, which are then woven into a tight colorful sweetness dripping into the listener’s ears. Standouts include "‘Thinking of a Place," a whispery confessional that percolates into a winsome love song, "Pretty," a gorgeous longing pop track with siren-like background vocals that pull you in, and the deeper cut "You!," a simple summer song that brews more and more as you take it in.

This End Had No Beginning is a clear standout for so many reasons, and some will rightly celebrate it more for being the work of a female producer, a queer talent with a measured perspective. All good reasons to celebrate, for as LonelyTwin right notes, “we celebrate too little.” Make this record a must listen and you’ll be celebrating as well.
