Sweeping electronic pop artist “Leland” and indie band “Muna” have just recently collaborated on a new track titled “Bad At Letting Go.” A track all about a breakup, this ethereal song will not get you grooving, but catch you deep in your feelings. Let’s check out these artists and this track together!
Leland has a long track record spanning back to 2011, working with several big names such as Selena Gomez, Daya, and Andy Grammer. He’s also dipped his toes in the television scene, writing episodes for “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “The Other Two.” As a solo artist, Leland has so far released 5 tracks with “Bad At Letting Go” being his first single release since 2019.
The trio Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson comprise “Muna.” The indie pop group has released 3 albums and 6 EPs so far, with their latest self-titled album reaching #2 on the U.S Billboard Heat Seekers chart.
Pop Breakup Anthem
“Bad At Letting Go” features on a classic 80s beat, showcasing old-timey piano riffs in the beginning as well as classic drum synth grooves. Leland’s strong vocal energy leads the listener along in the first verse, while Muna brings a beautiful lyrical shape to the track.
When speaking about the track, Leland commented: “The song takes place within the blip of time where a relationship has just ended but you and your now ex are the only people who know it. You put a pause on processing the breakup and channel all of that emotion into a crisis-induced dance where you feel everything, and nothing.”
The relatable chorus definitely displays these themes:
“Dancing in the bar /
The boys have all turned to shapes /
Cursing in the dark /
And no one heard anything /
It’s like lighting a match /
That you don’t еver throw /
I’m good at getting attached /
And bad at lеtting go”
