Music Appreciation
Lovelytheband's debut single, "Broken," released on April 13, 2017, marked a significant entry into the indie pop scene. The song was written by lead vocalist Mitchy Collins, alongside collaborators Christian Medice and Samantha DeRosa. Collins conceived the song during a challenging period in his life, following personal and professional setbacks, including the dissolution of his previous band, Oh Honey. This introspective piece became a cornerstone of Lovelytheband's debut album, Finding It Hard to Smile, released in 2018.
"Broken" explores themes of shared imperfections and the search for connection. The lyrics narrate a meeting between two individuals at a party, both recognizing their own flaws and finding solace in each other's company. The chorus, "I like that you're broken / Broken like me," encapsulates this sentiment.
Musically, the song blends upbeat synth-pop melodies with introspective lyrics, creating a contrast that resonates with listeners. This fusion contributed to the track's success, leading it to top Billboard's Alternative Songs chart for nine consecutive weeks and securing a spot on the Hot 100.
The accompanying music video, directed by John F. Beach and Jonathan Hoeg, visually portrays the song's narrative. It features lead singer Mitchy Collins encountering a woman at a party. The video juxtaposes the mundane party setting with whimsical fantasy elements, effectively highlighting the song's themes of finding beauty in brokenness.
