Daily Dose: Lindsey Lomis, “Handle With Care”
A lilting ode to daring to give one's heart away from this young future pop talent.
If you’ve ever had your heart well and truly stomped on by a breakup and found yourself stepping into a new relationship with much trepidation, you’ll know exactly what Lindsey Lomis is singing about in her new single, “Handle With Care.”
The future pop artist lays it out plain right from the jump, giving a run down of the packing materials she’s about to be using to send her tender heart off to the new person in her life, ending an early verse with the key question, “Can you keep it safe?” Her voice takes on a rhythmic flutter similar to Caroline Polachek, but there’s no denying that Lomis has a lot more vulnerability and soul running through this candlelit ballad.
About the song, Lomis says, “I think of myself as a pretty tough person, or at least I present myself as one. when it comes to relationships that isn’t always a great trait. Letting someone in on who I really am and allowing myself to love someone is a terrifying concept to me. but I want to trust someone with my heart. I want to give them my all even though there’s a big risk of getting hurt. All I can do is hope that they handle me with care.”
