Taste Test: Nola Wren tangles heartbreak on new song, ‘Other Boys’
The alt-pop upstart lets gravity hit her in the chest after a breakup with a new song.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Heartbreak is heartbreak is heartbreak. You think the next wound will sting far less than what you’ve already endured, but you’d be dead wrong. Your heart will still shatter into a million crystal pieces that’ll never fit back together again. Alt-pop purveyor Nola Wren bandages up her chest, her injury still bleeding out, and dives headfirst back into a love that’s already fallen apart. With “Other Boys,” a clattering mind bender touching on her typical grunge-grip, Wren twists the knife out of her own skin before seeing the ground cave beneath her. Gravity can be a bitch, they say. “Other boys call, but they don’t want me / They don’t ever want me that bad,” she flexes her lips into a tender snarl. She succumbs to the reality smacking her between the eyes, yet she just can’t help herself. Girl, been there.
