Review: Lotti Golden's debut is a fearless dive into the chaotic, electric world of late-60s New York, where countercultural misfits and street prophets populate her genre-warping narratives. Opener 'Motor-Cycle Michael' sets the pace with its freewheeling energy, while 'Gonna Fay's' drifts into bluesy psychedelia. The sprawling 'A Lot Like Lucifer (Celia Said Long Time Loser)' shifts between swaggering rock and theatrical storytelling, mirroring the unpredictability of its characters. 'Who Are Your Friends' leans into funk-driven introspection, while 'Get Together (With Yourself)' and 'You Can Find Him' push her vision further, blending soul and gospel-inflected harmonies. Golden's distinctive approach, combining raw honesty with a complex musical palette, firmly establishes her as an artist who reshapes the boundaries of pop and rock. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Golden was drawn to music from an early age, nurtured by her parents' passion for art and culture. At just 16, she caught the attention of Bob Crewe's Saturday Music, signing as a staff writer. But Golden's vision reached beyond writing for othersishe was determined to tell her own story. With vivid lyrics that captured her experiences in New York City, her debut album chronicles youthful defiance, introspection and transformation.
