And after all, we’d hardly be the first person to notice that there’s something going on in Portland, which seems to have a higher population density of sensitive and insightful singer-songwriters than just about anywhere else we can think of. And Kendall Lujan is the latest to loom into view, with her mix of folk, jazz, indie-rock, and bossa nova. Heady mix.
‘Boston’ is a song about mental reconnection, treading again a once familiar street and having old thoughts and recollections of emotions well up half-unbidden. As Kendall Lujan puts it: “When you revisit a place you’ve been to before do those memories start playing in your head? Does it bring up certain emotions, do you look at how much you’ve changed since that moment? That is why I wrote my song ‘Boston’ Revisiting a place and remembering the street signs remembering what you talked about/where. The sort of nostalgic dèjá vu that places, sounds, and stories do to us.“
‘Boston‘ is taken from the upcoming album ‘Lucky Penny‘, which is out in February 2025. Which is also when the European tour will kick-off.
