Maude Latoursfans have described her music as being for people who had glow-in-the-dark stars on their ceilings as kids.
Its for people who journal.
On her debut album,Sugar Water,she does exactly that.
Maria-Juliana Rojas for Rolling Stone
The title came from a Leo Tolstoy fable she learned about while studying philosophy at Columbia University.
His death is inevitable and imminent.
Theres a sweetness to loss and tragedy and all the dark things in the world.
Can you taste the sweetness while knowing that things end?
Now, her lifes philosophies have evolved, and she says shes lucky to have grown so much.
It was me and my roommates.
It was my teenage dreams, she says.
I could see this dream so clearly, and it was this colorful explosion of my whole self.
Later on the album, theres Whirlpool, which feels like the LPs thesis.
Now, Latour sees her past projects as the foundation of my cinematic universe.
WithSugar Water,Latour built a new world.
It has one guiding principle: How can I just enjoy the sweetness of life before it ends?
