Opening with an instantly memorable guitar riff, ‘Summer 09’ wastes no time pulling listeners into its infectious energy. Punchy vocals, anthemic melodies and driving guitars evoke the golden era of 2000s pop punk, recalling the spirit of bands like Mayday Parade and All Time Low while allowing Lea’s own personality to shine through. It’s nostalgic in more ways than one, paying tribute not only to the memories that inspired the lyrics but also to the sound that defined a generation of alternative music fans.

Overflowing with feel-good energy, ‘Summer 09’ plays like the soundtrack to an American teen movie, soundtracking bike rides through suburban streets, long evenings with friends and the exhilarating feeling that an entire summer stretches out ahead of you. With her sophomore album RollerCoaster Tycoon on the horizon, lolitslea continues to prove she’s more than capable of delivering pop punk that feels both comfortingly familiar and refreshingly her own.

“RollerCoaster Tycoon is not only an iconic computer game from the early 2000s, it’s a way of life,” shares Lea. “If I had to describe my life’s anthem or pick a “soundtrack to my life”, this would be it, I wrote it! Life is a rollercoaster (cliche). You can become a part of my chaos, but if you can’t handle it, there’s the door!”

About the new single, she adds: “Often as artists, we have to work multiple jobs to be able to pursue a career in music. The universe is always saying “get some rest and make sure you sleep at night, but then wake up and work a 9-5.. and then a 5-9” (oh wait, I guess I technically said that!) I walked into my writing session that day with heavy eyelids and a fast heart rate, leading to us writing ‘BURNOUT!! BURNOUT!!’”
