Lola Wild shares the selling new single ‘Jump The Gun’ from the forthcoming EP, Lost Signal. A slow-burning ballad steeped in glimmering 80s instrumentation and an ultra-cool, vintage aura, the track is drenched in the melancholy of heartbreak and unmet expectations, wrapped in the shimmering aesthetic of 80s production with a modern twist.
Written by Lola Wild and produced by Jim Wallis (Still Corners, Modern Nature), ‘Jump the Gun’ was brought to life at the legendary Strongroom Studios in Shoreditch, London. The song is a bittersweet, nostalgic trip, produced with a retrospective touch that’s both dreamlike and haunting. Wrapped in a melancholy haze that echoes heartbreak and regret, its layers of warm reverb make it feel as though the track is playing from a distant past, as if Lola is singing her confession into an empty, neon-lit room.
Lyrically, the song unfolds like an intimate conversation yet carries a dual interpretation. At first listen, it seems to chronicle the unraveling of a tumultuous relationship, marked by impulsivity and missteps. But digging deeper, Lola reveals it as an internal dialogue—an exploration of their own insecurities and tendencies to overthink or act prematurely.
Showcasing her ability to intertwine timeless influences with her unique voice and vision, the song offers a mesmerising preview of what’s to come on Lost Signal.
