Jolene Lozano’s Dreamy Odyssey: Welcome to Shangri-La

A symphonic embrace of self-discovery and regeneration, Jolene Lozano’s latest release “Shangri-La” is a soothing balm for the modern soul.

In a world often chaotic and overwhelming, Jolene Lozano’s new single “Shangri-La” extends an invitation to a realm of tranquillity and introspection. Infused with soft rock and alt-rock elements, the single is a testament to Jolene’s unique blend of pop, soul, and rock influences, underscored by her enchanting female vocals that promise to transport listeners into a space of serenity and self-reflection.

The song marks Jolene’s re-entry into the music scene after a challenging year of personal trials. This introspective anthem is born out of a period marked by seismic shifts in her personal and professional life, including job loss, heartbreak, and health issues. Fueled by the need for personal healing and self-love, “Shangri-La” emerges as a cathartic release and a personal milestone for Jolene, who describes it as one of the most personal songs she’s ever written.

Recorded in producer Ryan Martin’s Brooklyn studio, the song’s production captures a dreamy, mellow vibe that interweaves guitar-driven dream pop with soulful undertones. Drawing influences from iconic artists like Remi Wolf, Alessia Cara, and Amy Winehouse, Jolene masterfully crafts a soundscape that echoes the enduring spirit and emotive depth of pop, soul rock, and alt-rock. Her ethereal voice weaves through the comforting melodies, offering a soundtrack for truth-seekers and dreamers alike.

Reflecting on the tumultuous journey that led her to this point, Jolene says, “Have you ever felt like you’re running on empty, watching everyone else seemingly have it all figured out, while you’re just trying to stay afloat? That was my life this past year. But there were moments that made me grow tremendously and regain hope—I began learning to love myself first and foremost. In these moments, I haven’t lost hope and I’m still fighting to find my own ‘Shangri La’—my own inner peace of self-love.”

Beyond its sonorous appeal, “Shangri-La” is more than just a song—it’s a narrative of resilience and the quest for internal harmony. It stands as an anthem for anyone seeking solace and self-acceptance amid life’s relentless pace. As the echoes of its dreamy melodies unravel, each note serves as a reminder that peace and self-love can be found, even in the most unlikely corners of one’s heart.

Jolene Lozano’s return with “Shangri-La” is not merely a musical comeback but an evocative declaration of healing and rediscovery. It is an invitation to every listener to join her on a transformative journey to their version of Shangri-La, where inner peace reigns supreme and healing is not just a destination but an ongoing journey.
