about

Closeness and its many facets are the theme that the artist LOTA takes up in her third single "Dialogue". The soulful synth ballad was created in collaboration with Cologne-based singer-songwriter Jules Ahoi. Together, the two childhood friends tell in "Dialogue" what it's like to lose yourself in good conversations with an interesting person and to get closer and closer to them in a very special way.
Authenticity and honesty and just being able to give yourself as you are" - that's what "Dialogue" is about. In the song, Cologne newcomer LOTA sets to music the magic of a profound conversation that brings you closer to your counterpart, and not just on an intellectual level. In the figurative sense, the song is about a journey that you embark on together without knowing where and how it will end - but that's beside the point, it's really about the shared adventure in the here and now.
Enveloped by atmospheric synth sounds, LOTA and Jules Ahoi sing together: 'And I don't know what it is that is pushing me this time'. The chorus of "Dialogue" charmingly picks up on the song's curiosity-driven mood. In the end, however, this leads to closeness and familiarity; that we know each other and that we see each other - on many levels.
LOTA herself says about her third single and the collaboration with Jules Ahoi; "Jules and I have known each other for over ten years now and we have a lot in common, both personally and musically, because we have been through a lot of ups and downs together. The song means a lot to me. "Dialogue" came off very quickly because we know each other so well and just know how we are and can be and want to be with each other."
The video for "Dialogue" was created in collaboration with the Cologne-based photographer and videographer Lukas Faller. In it, LOTA and Jules Ahoi take the audience on an (atmospheric) road trip in an old Golf convertible. Their journey is an adventure full of interpersonal magic and thus skilfully picks up the mood of the song visually.

lyrics

you reach out to me
and i feel
a recent shudder
approach to hover

we move in synchronicity
Honesty
and I don´t need certainty 
tonight

You call my Name once
I called your number twice
Dialogue
Higher Lows

And I don’t know what it is
That is pushing me this time

it's pulling me
pushing me
chemistry took over me
and I can't stand slowly loosing my mind

we go (we go, we go..)

further this time
on the thinest line
so much on my mind
that I could deny
but you must probably feel it anyway

bae, oh.

Refrain
