about

"Lemonade (No I Never)" is James Wyatt Crosby's first new single since his debut album Twins released in 2017. The Toronto-based musician has taken the best elements of his melody-driven alternative indie pop and crafted a dreamy, dance-inspired track that's dripping wet with 80s nostalgia.

The song's lyrics paint a picture of a bittersweet love affair while sun-soaked piano loops, slinky guitar lines and bombastic drum machines create an atmosphere of wistful emotions. Glassy pianos lifted from cheesy daytime TV shows are repurposed and made stylish, and spacey synthetic textures mixed with warm bass tones swirl in the listener's ears and evoke images of endless echoing kaleidescopic dreamworlds.

With its funky guitars and glo-fi production approach, "Lemonade" is hypnagogic homespun pop at its finest and serves as evidence for the controversial idea that the 80s never really ended.

lyrics

I want you to go away
I want you to stay forever
Give me all your lemonade
Don't you tell me no I never

Don't you let it go to waste
You know I can go forever
Give me all your lemonade
Don't you tell me no I never

I heard every word you said
Here I thought I knew you better
Just give me all your lemonade
Don't you tell me no I never

All of your life
All of your time
Trying to find
Trying to find

Come on baby play the game
(I've been feeling so ashamed)
(All the things I couldn't say)
Come on baby pull the lever
(Nothing ever lasts forever)
(We were never good together)

Just give me all your lemonade
Don't you tell me no I never
