Vince Leigh’s Single Review: Unicorn by Lark
Vince Leigh is the former drummer of Pseudo Echo, John Farham and Tina Arena
Australian pop sensation Lark, the mastermind behind hit singles We Love Us! and Hit The Record, returns with a dazzling new dance-pop track, Unicorn.
This R&B-infused banger combines contemporary beats, sparkling melodies, and Lark’s signature expressive vocal. With an expanding fanbase and extensive experience performing in venues from blues bars to the legendary Rainbow Room on Sunset Strip, Lark is poised to make a massive impact with Unicorn. The song is a tribute to the irreplaceable relationships in her life, inspired by her closest friends, her daughter, and her partner.
Written in just a three-hour whirlwind of inspiration and brought to life by former Australian Independent Producer of the Year (2013) Jono Fernandez, the bouncy musical prelude that kicks off Unicorn completely submerges the listener in the track’s vivacious mood. For this new one, Lark has used a typical band-like structure, capturing a classic sound and blending it with a modern approach to both the music’s melodic and lyrical aspects. The chorus is highlighted by a massive pop melody, and further complemented by several vocal layers and an upbeat lyric. Clocking in at just under three minutes, Unicorn is a quick and memorable listen that will stay with you for days.
With lyrics like ‘I gotta lotta front, cause you got my back / You’re the one and I’m hangin’ on tight like a shark attack’ and ‘Like a supercar, running fully charged / Best by far, got more points than a Starbucks card,’ The spirit of Unicorn is filled with a feeling of playfulness and an easy-going, good-time attitude. Lark has finally arrived as a worldwide pop superstar and will make a significant impact on radio and other streaming services with the release of her latest record. With more live shows than she can count and close to 30 years of experience in the music industry, Lark is now also sharing her wisdom and expertise in a series of mentoring videos to help up-and-coming artists succeed in their musical journeys.
