Sawyer – oh, lorraine (2025)
Sawyer gears up for the release of his forthcoming EP, Lost but Found, with the release of his nostalgic and gritty prelude tune ‘oh, lorraine’. If you haven’t yet heard of Sawyer, now’s the time to tune in. The London-based artist is making waves with his dynamic blend of punk-rock energy and raw, heartfelt storytelling. In his latest single, Sawyer invites us into his world of longing, love, and emotional vulnerability, setting the stage for his upcoming EP.
Recorded during a soul-searching journey through Tuscany, ‘oh lorraine’ is an experience. The track is layered with atmospheric sounds from the Italian countryside, including the delicate chime of church bells and the nocturnal hum of crickets. These live elements weave seamlessly into Sawyer’s signature sound creating a deeply immersive and cinematic musical escape.
From the first note, ‘oh lorraine’ hooks listeners with its soaring guitar riffs and melodic intensity, striking a balance between nostalgia and grit. The song carries echoes of artists like Dominic Fike and Ekkstacy, yet Sawyer’s sound is unmistakably his own. His ability to blend anthemic rock energy with introspective lyricism is a testament to his talent as both a songwriter and instrumentalist.
‘oh lorraine’ is a journey through heartache and yearning with Sawyer’s vocals delivering each line with an authenticity that’s impossible to ignore. His raw, emotive execution makes every lyric feel lived-in, as though he’s pulling listeners into his own personal memories. The song is about love, yes, but also about the universal ache of longing – whether for a person, a place, or a moment in time that’s slipped away.
Beyond the music itself, Sawyer’s story adds another layer of depth to his artistry. Having faced personal challenges, including living with Crohn’s Disease, his music is infused with a sense of resilience and passion that makes every song feel urgent and necessary. His connection to skate culture and extreme sports also plays a role in his sound, giving it a rebellious edge that sets him apart from the crowd.
If ‘oh lorraine’ is any indication of what’s to come, then Lost but Found is shaping up to be a must-listen. With its powerful combination of cinematic atmosphere, gripping storytelling, and anthemic instrumentation, the track showcases exactly why Sawyer is an artist to watch. Whether you’re blasting it on a late-night drive or letting it wash over you on a quiet evening, ‘oh lorraine’ is a song that sticks with you long after the final note fades.
