Lasael blurs desire and divinity on latest release “Along With Gold”

Lasael’s new single “Along With Gold” is set in a charged emotional space where desire, trauma, and divinity begin to bleed into one another. This song is about the tension itself, between the desire and the pain, the openness and the excellence, where the beautiful can be disturbing. Lasael lets these conflicting forces coexist, rather than resolve them, and the piece has an alluring ambiguity about it. “Along With Gold” is intimate, but elevated, taking us into a space where devotion and damage are hard to tell apart. It is a stunning meditation on the power of desire, especially when the sacred and wounded are intertwined.
