LUWTEN Releases Latest EP “GENERATIONS”

Dutch artist Tessa Douwstra records, writes, performs, and produces cunning pop under the moniker LUWTEN. Her latest EP “Generations'' comes as Tessa’s first release following her album “Draft.”

Speaking on the process of creating her latest EP, LUWTEN said, “During the making of Draft there was another story that surfaced. These songs belonged on a separate release: Generations. I feel a lot of comfort in zooming out and looking at the intergenerational processes underlying our times. To put things into context. These songs are inspired by generations, the past and the present.

Tessa drew inspiration from the ideals that were presented to her through her religious background. These were silent ideals of being quiet and not taking up too much space. She draws from this experience by not only including its themes, but also incorporating sounds from different religions to illustrate the loss of a collective belief. 

Discussing the track “Restless Before Bed”, “I wrote this song in my car while driving. I think this sums up what this song is about quite much. I feel that most of us, and my generation for sure, are quite distracted by effectiveness. We wake up feeling restless because we woke up too late. Every hour counts but for what exactly?” 

A similar theme is observed in her track “Nothing New'' which is a song about breaking patterns. In this case, the traditions of religion. 

LUWTEN is an artist that can take inspiration from all aspects of her life and turn it into something beautiful that will resonate with the masses. Through her music, she’s created a belief system in herself that’s allowed her to explore her talents and give us incredible musical projects.
