‘Could’ve Loved You’ is an emotional Americana heartbreak ballad capturing the melancholic nostalgia of a withered love and yearning for a future that looks more like the past.
Country/Americana band Lake and Lyndale tell a heart-wrenching story with their stunning new single, ‘Could’ve Loved You,’ out 18 March. This epic follow-up to their acoustic 2021 EP, In the Nude Vol.1, is the first taste of what the band has in store for listeners in 2022. At its core, this track reflects uncertainty and regret through a golden-toned hue as front-woman Channing Marie reminisces on a romance that could’ve been the one. She explains that “everyone has that one relationship or person who still crosses their minds from time to time even if it ended for the right reasons,” and deep dives into the uncomfortable emotions that resurface in response to those fleeting thoughts. The band channels the genre-defying elements of artists like Fleetwood Mac that incorporate a variety of sounds from roots-rock to country-soul, and nods to powerhouse female country icons like Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood on ‘Could’ve Loved You.’ The single is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever looked back on a relationship and thought that it could’ve worked out if they had just put in a little more effort.
