Ivy Falls’ “Not Cool” is an exploration of setting boundaries and making choices

Ivy Falls’ new single offers a glimpse into the debut album, slated for release in spring 2024 (ironically not in the Fall of 2024). Fien, the artist behind Ivy Falls, steps out of the spotlight with this solo venture, marking a significant shift after collaborations. Recent to the guitar – no stranger to musical prowess – Ivy Falls has crafted a profound narrative in “Not Cool.”

The genesis of the track and her debut album emerge from a transformative moment, a metaphorical tidal wave that reshaped the landscape of her life. Amidst the echoes of change, she taught herself to play the guitar, and “Not Cool” stands as this newfound musical exploration. The song becomes a medium to explore the art of setting boundaries and making choices that define one’s journey—a poignant exploration of life and relationships, ultimately converging on the pursuit of happiness.

In the realm of indie pop-folk, “Not Cool” stands out for its depth, maturity, and melancholic grace. Ivy Falls’ lyrical expertise reflects a strength and maturity that showcase her thematic authenticity. This song is a call to self-expression, even if it leads to solitude, making it a compelling testament to the human experience.

Ivy Falls embarks on a musical journey that both pays homage to her first love and forges a new chapter in her personal and artistic life. Collaborating with Bram Vanparys on the track, Ivy Falls finds a kindred spirit in music. Together, the two respective artist have produced a record that marries introspective lyricism with Bram’s skillful guitar and piano compositions, all emanating from the confines of their home studio over the past year.

Ivy Falls not only initiates a musical narrative but also taps into the psychology of music-making as a form of catharsis with this song. One of the best aspects of this song is Ivy Falls’ journey – from the aftermath of upheaval to the creation of this indie gem – which resonates as a promising overture to her artistic voyage.
