The Lemon Grove – “Empty”

The Lemon Grove is a duo from Helsinki made up of two psychologists who’ve shifted into songwriting. Their new single “Empty” is quiet, emotional, and doesn’t feel like it’s trying to be anything other than real.

The track is shaped by two incredibly tough losses: a miscarriage and the death of a father. You can feel that without needing every detail spelled out. It’s not dramatic or heavy in a forced way. It’s more like an open space where complicated feelings are allowed to exist without being rushed or cleaned up. There’s a softness to the sound that makes it easy to sit with, even when the emotion behind it is raw.

I like that nothing feels overdone here; it’s simple in the best way, just a very human moment turned into music. It’s the kind of song that lands better when you’re on your own. Maybe driving. Maybe walking. Maybe doing nothing. Just being with it.

If you’re into songs that can stick in your head not for hours, but for days, “Empty” is one to check out. Follow The Lemon Grove on social media to stay in the loop. Definitely worth keeping an eye on their releases throughout the rest of 2025.
