Rising pop sensation Loren Heat returns with their most electrifying release yet—‘2009’, a euphoric, synth-laced love letter to a seminal year in pop music. Dropping this spring via Interval Records (EMI North/Generator), the single marks the start of a bold new chapter for the North-East artist already making serious waves in the UK pop scene.
Following the success of their debut EP Scarlet Haze, which delved into themes of vulnerability, lust, and emotional honesty, Loren Heat continues to blend infectious melodies with raw, relatable storytelling.
Produced by Chad Rodgers, ‘2009’ is a shimmering throwback to the golden age of dance-pop, channelling the energy of icons like Lady Gaga and Robyn, but with a sharp, contemporary edge that’s unmistakably Loren.
The track opens with slick, synth-driven textures before launching into a pulsating chorus that hooks you instantly. Loren’s vocals cut through with power and precision, drawing listeners into a vivid, heart-racing moment of desire. ‘2009’ is a full-throttle celebration of everything that makes pop music so addictive.
“It’s a feel good love song, it’s a song about this pure form of intimacy, intimacy crafted by love rather than lust. not only the lyrics but the sound paint this picture of this almost ethereal gentle form of wanting someone, whether it’s recurring or one night, it feels deeper than just sex.”
“2009 was a good year for music, there were so many bad things going on like there is now and people were clubbing to escape, they were listening to music to free themselves mentally, even just for a bit. The pop music that was released that year centered around going out and meeting people and getting someone’s number etc, and so I thought given all that, it fits just right. The club scene is dying, can we bring it back, like 2009?”
Already praised by tastemakers including Clash, BBC Introducing, Notion, Earmilk, CULTR, and NARC, Loren Heat is poised for a breakout 2025. With a series of new singles on the horizon and two showcases at this year’s The Great Escape in May, their sound is expanding—and so is their audience.
