Wichita-based artist junni arrives with their debut single “loml,” a deeply intimate track written, produced, and recorded entirely solo. Working from their bedroom with Logic Pro and support from a vocal coach, junni builds a gentle, emotionally direct piece that takes inspiration from Sara Bareilles and channels it into a love song intended for a future wife – a person who doesn’t exist yet. The result is a romantic gesture not just outward but inward, reflecting their own evolution around the idea of marriage, queerness, and hope.
“loml” begins modestly, driven by soft piano and vocals, then gradually blossoms into a larger arrangement filled with strings and horns. It’s carefully built layer by layer until it lands at a place that feels complete. The choice to expand the bridge with unexpected instrumentation gives the track a memorable shift, and the fact that it all came together from a bedroom studio gives it even more weight.
Though it was written with a personal vision in mind, “loml” could find a second life in film or television. Its pacing, warmth, and sincerity could fit perfectly in a scene about connection, longing, or resolution. It isn’t trying to perform romance – it simply exists as a letter, floating somewhere between imagination and real life.
For a first release, junni shows both control and emotional range. This isn’t a demo or a placeholder – it’s a fully realized debut with a clear emotional anchor. The idea that their music is a way to express love speaks louder than any marketing campaign ever could. If “loml” is any indication, this solo project is off to a quietly powerful start.
