Lena Stone is a singer-songwriter who knows how to let you in.
Her production style is fun and unpretentious, her vocal quality is easy and welcoming, and her lyrics make you feel like you’re old friends catching up. Over the last few years, she’s been steadily releasing quality material and courting favor in the pop-country community. Her past offerings have been strong, setting her up for a 2020 where the wider world will celebrate her the way she deserves. That celebration is geared to begin with her latest single, “Personal Space.”
As a lightly fuzzed guitar is plucked in a staccato rhythm, layered against scattered drums and claps, Stone starts to share details of her life; uncomfortable truths, odd quirks, and intimate secrets. Then the chorus hits, and the meter changes, moving to a soothing new plane. Lyrically, Stone invites the subject of her song into her personal space, letting them witness the tapestry of who she is.
As the song progresses, we see a picture of closeness unfold that’s fun and relatable, all cuddling on the couch in baggy sweatshirts. It’s the kind of love that most of us can reasonably aspire to, free from the glitzed up glamor of Hollywood romance.
“Personal Space” is joyous and comforting, like a warm blanket on a chilly day. Ultimately, the song is about intimacy, and most importantly, it expresses the wonderful feeling of finding someone who you don’t mind letting in—the kind of person who you want to see you without makeup, defense, or pretense. It’s about the power of vulnerability between two people who value each other. Add it to your Valentine’s Day playlist, play it for your special person, and watch the sparks start to fly.
