Many people take music lessons as a child, and more times than not, the training amounts to nothing more than a waste of money. Now, we're not saying that Lupa was simply an average child taking music lessons one day; in fact, she was involved in a vigorous classical violin program at the Conservatorium High School in Sydney, an institution centered around producing musicians. And instead of limiting herself to the boundaries of classical violin, she decided to integrate her talent into the worlds of indie, electronic, and folk, with her decision having produced a fresh sound that we're absolutely thrilled about. We first disclosed the 16-year-old to our listeners a half a year ago with her breakout song, "Eyes Unclouded", and today, she's back with a brand-new, equally remarkable offering in "Statues". With the incredible technology that is so easily accessible today, many people can become excellent producers with little to no musical background. However, Lupa's vast knowledge about classical violin places her in a different category than most, and the way that she incorporates the particular instrument into her work is exceptional. Her prowess is made blatantly obvious throughout the piece, and the coalescence of her violin with electronic percussion and subtle synths creates a unique vibe that we're really digging. In addition, Lupa's sophisticated vocals (which compliment the instrumental brilliantly) act as the final cherry on top of the piece by securing the seamlessness of the track, and with them, we've another bit of fuel to add to our growing obsession of her sound.
