Carrie Okay, a new supergroup from LØLØ, salem ilese and Alna, have unveiled their first song, and it is very much on brand for the trio.

Titled ‘High In A Drugstore’, it is a return to the early 00’s era of soft pop-rock, but with a modern twist. It’s flowery, breezy and beautiful, but littered with heartbreak and anguish. The sort of song that finds you in your life at the right time and right place, and makes you realise you’re not the only person going through such pain.

As a first swing, it is as good as it gets.

The band had this to say about it:

Heartbreak makes us do the strangest things. We’ve all had those nights where we’re convinced leaving the house will fix everything, and somehow, we end up in a random place having an existential crisis. Whether it’s hallucinating an ex at your local Denny’s or taking a gummy and ending up out of your mind at a 7-Eleven, you never know where a broken heart will take you. The irony of ending up high in a drugstore… a place where people often go to find a cure, only to realize there’s nothing on those shelves for missing somebody. After writing ‘High in a Drugstore,’ we realized we loved the song way too much to try to pitch it to another artist. So we did what any reasonable girl would do in that moment… start a girl band. We’ve loved every second of creating Carrie Okay and feel so lucky to work with each other and the amazing Andrew Goldstein on creating such a fun project.”

And Andrew had this to add himself about working on the project with the trio:

Working with Carrie Okay is different from working with other artists. Each member is already an accomplished songwriter and artist in their own right, so the creative process moves incredibly fast. I’m constantly in awe of how seamlessly they come up with concepts, lyrics, and melodies, often building three-part harmonies while we’re still writing the song. You get to hear the music come to life in real time. It’s rare to work with three people who are this talented individually, but in Carrie Okay they bring out something really special in each other. It’s an absolute joy to be a part of.”
