DJ Laurinda XShows: New Album — When Love Fades
A Brand Art Emotion Remix Edition
August–September 2025 | Nexth iTV

With When Love Fades, DJ Laurinda has proven again that she is more than a producer, more than a songwriter—she is an architect of emotion. Each episode of this album is not just a track; it’s a chapter in a living story of passion, tenderness, fracture, and memory. Where Episode 4: These Walls lingered on silence and the slow dissolution of intimacy, Episode 5: London Boy shifts the light—this time into memory, longing, and the kind of love that burns bright but fades too soon.

The Meaning of London Boy

At first listen, London Boy sparkles like a love letter—a portrait of whirlwind romance, told with DJ Laurinda’s signature layering of warmth and melancholy. The lyrics sketch a vivid journey: West Coast sunlight giving way to London fog, laughter on Oxford Street, stolen kisses in Soho, secrets whispered in taxis, the thrill of rain-drenched nights in Brixton.

But Laurinda’s brilliance is in the undercurrent. This is not just nostalgia—it is longing sharpened by loss.

When she sings “I got a thing for a London boy / Soft-spoken thrill in a basement noise”, it feels intoxicating, yet fragile, as though she already knows this magic cannot last.

The pre-chorus—“I sip tea like I always did / But it hits different in your flat in Brixton”—is not just romance, it’s the ache of ordinary rituals forever changed by memory.

And in the outro—“Boy, I fancy you”—the repetition fades like fog: a whisper that clings, even as the love itself disappears.

Laurinda doesn’t just tell us about romance; she lets us feel how even the brightest flame can leave behind only shadows.
