NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Indie Pop/AC recording artist, Sofia Lynch (LynchPin Entertainment), a newcomer to the format but no stranger to the recording and LIVE performance scene, will celebrate the release of her new single, “Architect And The Arsonist.”* Penned and co-produced by the Nashville-based songstress, the track will be available worldwide via all major digital retail and streaming platforms on Friday, March 8, 2024.
Poised to make her mark among audiences with an appetite for abstract, contemplative storylines enlivened by crystal clear vocals, Lynch pushes her music boundaries with the dreamy synth-pop recording. A calm, chaotic ballad, “Architect And The Arsonist” is a heart-wrenching testament to modern-day misfortune–the rise and fall of a young relationship built on trust by one, and torched by another.
Stark, ethereal instrumentation paired with airy, emotive vocals and pleading harmonies convey grief layered beneath fragile lyrics that paint an apocalyptic scenery of a shattered heart in embers. The bridge holds steady to make wide open space for the metaphoric summation of the build and the burn. From start to finish, the sentiment intensifies to ignite painful memories of an unapologetic departure and the empty remains.
AND AS WE BATTLED FOR THE UPPER HAND
DREW HARD LINES IN THE SAND
I WANTED TO REACH OUT
BUT YOUR LIES ARE FAR TOO PLANNED
YOU BREAK THE RULES BECAUSE YOU CAN
DID YOU EVER CARE ABOUT THE CROWN
CAUSE NOW
I GRIEVE ALONE
TEARS OF ASH AND MIST
YOU’RE THE ARCHITECT
YOU’RE THE ARSONIST
AND I’M NOT SORRY THAT I FOUGHT BACK
WITH THE NERVE TO TRY TO WIN
LIKE YOU’RE NOT SORRY FOR WHAT YOU DID
“We have relationships in our lifetime that seem to go up in flames as quickly as they’re built,” said the twenty-one-year-old, South Carolina native, Sofia Lynch. “I wrote ‘Architect And The Arsonist’ as I picked up the pieces in the aftermath of a broken relationship–grappling with the feelings of bitter anger, betrayal and hurt. It’s a nostalgic recollection of a relationship that fell apart in a catastrophic way.”
Akin to Taylor Swift and Weyes Blood, “Architect And The Arsonist” highlights Lynch’s knack for delivering simplistic and poignant lyrics that paint a crystal-clear picture from a brilliantly creative perspective. The track is the lead single as the launch of her 2024 waterfall series.
