“Call A Friend” EP | Lukae Review

Written by Charlie Falconer.

From strictly creating bright and funky tunes, Lukae steps out of their comfort zone and brings us

something different with their debut EP “Call a Friend” that lets their walls down and welcomes us

into their mind.

Lukae is a non-binary indie pop artist from Meanjin (Brisbane, Australia). Lukae wanted to shift

from masking emotions in a happy song to creating something more authentic and real. Because of

this shift, the EP is a direct contrast to their previous songs “When I’m With You”, “Fake it” and

“One Night” as it delves deeper into the more complicated and emotional side of life and

relationships.

Throughout the entirety of the EP, the instrumentation has a toned down lo-fi acoustic vibe.

Intertwining this with Lukae’s direct and honest lyricism, each song creates a mood worthy of a

reflective nighttime drive or a cozy night in. Either way, you’re bound to connect.

Both “Call a Friend” and “Never End” carry remnants of Lukae’s previous upbeat style while still

holding onto to that heartfelt energy. With “Never End” being the last song on the EP, the gradual

build into the upbeat instrumental with Lukae’s atmospheric vocals overlayed ties it all together,

finishing the EP on an optimistic note.

Lukae’s debut EP, “Call a Friend” will be released on the 28th of January 2022. They have already

released one of the songs, so if you’re interesting in getting a sneak peak of how the EP will play
