Review: Reshma drops moody new track ‘Loneliest Girl’

We love a dark, moody pop track that makes you feel all the feels and we found one with the right hint of sass and sadness. A week from debut, up and coming Malaysian artist Reshma has released a new track in Loneliest Girl and it has already toppled nearly 20K plays on Spotify.

Reshma first dropped onto the music scene back in Malaysia where she appeared on the final season of a hit reality singing show where she eventually came third place. Growing up in a minority can be hard for a multitude of reasons but one of the hardest has to be not seeing someone like you in the media, representing who you are and what you stand for. Reshma was the only female to represent her ethnic group on the shows 13 seasons. She has since become somewhat a figurehead of unity and change in the local entertainment industry.

“Loneliness is a pandemic of its own, plaguing our generation in so many shapes and forms. This song aims to relate to all communities, an anthem of sorts, to give listeners the validation that feeling lonely is more than okay, especially in these times”

Now residing in Whanganui, New Zealand, She aims to take her music to the next level by releasing her debut English track. Loneliest Girl is a dark/alt pop song that explores the plague that is to be lonely. Not many people can say that over the last 15 months there wasn’t a moment they felt lonely or stuck. This track shares all the feels, with her vocals giving off a Miley Cyrus X Lady Gaga lovechild vibe. Absolutely into it!

The runs and the technique in this track is outstanding to say the least, there is something so calming about her Reshmas vocal that you could listen to all day. Although not the intention, Reshmas vocals almost make me want to be lonely, just so I can put on baggiest hoodie, jump on a bus to nowhere and blast Loneliest Girl.
