Jolene Lozano’s anthem for the weekend, Saturday Morning Blues exquisitely captures the universal experience of waking up after a night of indulgence and feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Lozano’s warm and evocative vocals effortlessly convey the emotions of the characters, drawing you in this escapist fantasy of just wallowing in bed after being immobile and hungover. She’s able to so accurately convey that contrasting high and low, that arise from a night of excitement, with the temporary high giving way to a sense of sadness and disorientation.
Despite that momentary melancholy and tiredness, the song emphasizes the healing power of friendship and the joy that comes from being in the presence of someone who truly understands and accepts you. The genuine connection between the two friends/lovers in the song brings a sense of calmness and happiness, allowing them to be their authentic selves without judgment. It’s a celebration of the solace and comfort found in the intimacy of a close bond. The video is the ideal complement to that emotion, a dance video from the comfort of home that showcases that goofiness and the bond all at once.
Saturday Morning Blues is groovy, upbeat, and lackadaisical all at once. It’s a hangover cure, both emotionally and physically.
