“Comparing yourself to others, and even worse, the social media persona of people pretending their world is perfect is a dangerous thing. ‘Jealous’ is about those feelings of envy we’ve all had when looking at other peoples looks, relationships, and experiences. But we never know the full story or picture as outsiders, and chances are they are jealous of us in some way as well.
Rachel Newnham delivers the track is perfect Pop glory.”
“Jealously plays evil tracks on the mind, and the fact that LOST has taken on that phenomenon with an upbeat slightly unhinged exuberance is sheer genius, as it captures that yo-yo set of emotions very well.
Here in this single and video ‘Jealous’ is a fun romp from the outside looking in, but sooner or later we all find ourselves in that state of angry and hurt delirium.”
“Part of the hook is the almost disenfranchised vibe to the vocal performance, which works here because it further conveys the emotion of being stuck in a rut — watching and envying others live their life.
The age of social media makes this a real phenomenon that affect most of us to some degree or another, and here, Lucy Cloud delivers a tantalizing example of being ‘Jealous.’ ”
