Fay Lamour is a singer, songwriter, and pianist from South Africa, currently based in Cape Town. Her music pays tribute to classic jazz standards while infusing them with a fresh, modern pop edge.
"Next to You" marks Lamour’s first release of 2022, emerging from a hiatus with a brand-new sound. Her previous work has spanned across jazz, classical, lo-fi, and even indie folk. This latest single is a smooth and soulful track that takes listeners through the full spectrum of love’s emotions.
Dreamy keys and melancholic vocals create an immersive atmosphere from the start. Lamour’s opening lyrics reflect on turning an ending into a new beginning. A pulsating chorus adds a sense of joy, wrapped in the longing for a love that feels like a dream.
"At its core, this is a breakup song. I wrote it to let go of my demons and start embracing the good memories it brings—both for myself and for anyone going through a similar experience."
"I’ve always written songs about love, and I think this song represents my way of letting go and stepping into a new chapter as a writer and musician. So for now, enjoy my alt-pop single 'Next to You'—and stay tuned for what’s coming next!"
