'What If My Body Could Love Like You' is the powerful opener of Lisa Caruso's 2023 EP 'Stretching'. Moody, broody, and dramatic, this lush track actions the desire to achieve full satisfaction in the skin you live in. Written in times of lockdowns when there was no choice but to turn inward, LC medalled with the onslaught of social media posts that entertain ideas of changing oneself to look ‘better’. Noticing the insistent damaging effects these have on society, Lisa’s song writing flowed instrinsically as she took to keyboard. Sonically personifying a 'coming out of body' ferocity in post chorus hooks, there’s a shade in dynamic with subtle melodic layers of keys and guitar, all held together with a tight drum beat before reigning in an outro with submersible vocal harmonies and a humming sub bass that binds. This hard hitting synth pop tune screams guts and authenticity, and the Music Video is no different. Filmed in a broke down deserted warehouse, there are pictures of beauty and trepidation as Lisa takes flight. Looking inward with clones and characters representing Lisa’s self and former self, being both brave and vulnerable are shown to be the keys to success.

Unapologetically honest, ‘Do You Work Out?’ asks the question not of body, but of mind. Colourful in sound and movement, verses write the story while the repeated line in choruses hold strong with a danceable drum beat, solid backing vocals and horn like synth harmonies. A throw back to 90s pop culture that breathes in a whole lot of life.

Sonically personifying a ‘coming out of body’ ferocity in post chorus hooks, vocal cries echo upon layers of dynamic 80's-esque synth keyboard lines and pads, clean guitar strums and a sequencer that sits neatly amidst tight drums. A brooding, bold, and brave opener that questions the desire to achieve full satisfaction in the skin you live in.

What if my body could love like you? The question that desires to achieve full satisfaction in the skin you live in. Sonically personifying a 'coming out of body' ferocity; the hook holds echoing vocal cries upon layers of dynamic synth lines that dissipate in time for 'the conversation', levitating again for the chorus and final return.

Seeing yourself through a lens like you would a decadent chocolate; celebrating all the details that make you, you. Disallowing exterior influences that dictate what beauty is, and believing in a confidence that delivers ever-lasting self love.
