HAPPIE’s ‘Real Love’ EP might just be the indie-pop revival we didn’t know we needed, offering a mix of vintage charm and modern flair.
The title track, “Real Love,” stands out with its haunting melody and has been further elevated by a beautiful music video created in collaboration with the Hollywood Ballet. This track explores the intricacies of love in a way that’s both captivating and thought-provoking. “Shooting Star,” an ode to her father, is wrapped in an acoustic and steel guitar arrangement that evokes a cozy, campfire serenade. “Close” brings in a drum machine and sparse guitar to explore the complexities of emotional distance. The EP concludes with “Easy,” an upbeat, catchy tune that leaves listeners with a sense of optimism.
‘Real Love’ is a heartfelt collection that resonates with late-night listening and deep thoughts, proving that HAPPIE is an artist to watch in the indie folk-pop scene.
