Lovelorn Dolls - Happy Valentine
With its appealing somber theme, catchy chorus, incisive goth rock guitar melodies and dark and tortured electronic arrangements, "Happy Valentine" is released. Lovelorn Dolls recorded an amazing version together with Maja Marcucci, an unplugged recording beautifully reinforcing the dramatic atmosphere of the song’s difficult theme of domestic violence, and abused & battered women in general. With the aim to stretch this song’s potential to the max and to plunge it into new and different universes. Lovelorn Dolls also intelligently selected different artists they collaborated with to get 4 amazing remixed versions, starting with Helalyn Flowers and surprising 80’s-tainted almost Eurodance version, a modern and angry dancefloor mix by dark techno club guru DJ Simon Carter, a minimal and almost theatrical intimate retake by Jean-Marc Lederman and enchanting and hypnotizing ambient electro trance reinterpretation by the genius Restriction 9.
Lovelorn Dolls offer 7 bonus live songs recorded during their stunning performance at the Eurorock festival in May 2015. Dynamic show with full symbiosis with their audience while their heavy-loaded synthesizers bleed their infectious electronic melodies across the walls of melodic guitar riffs, the upbeat manic drums and the female singer’s highly expressive carrying voice.
