How Could I Be True

Boy Pablo “Losing You”

Boy Pablo’s songs render melodramatic teenage emotions – specifically the sort of romantic angst that comes from minimal experience mixed with cultural expectations established by pop culture – with a refined elegance that makes it all sound kinda suave. It’s like if Seth Cohen was writing lyrics for Bryan Ferry. “Losing You” is sleek and gorgeous, and sounds like it comes from a better, sexier world that we only ever glimpse in TV shows and movies. It’s the kind of song that winks at you and suggests you play it by the pool at a boutique hotel. And you’re just like, jeez, are you even 20 years old?
