The Romantic Pulse of a Bedroom Symphony: Introducing Junni and "loml"


In a bedroom in Wichita, Kansas, under the light of a laptop screen and the soft buzz of late-night daydreams, a love song was conceived. Not just any love song — a letter to the future, an audio vision of what's next, dreamed up in the heart of someone who hasn't yet met the muse who'll be the reason for the first dance. This is junni's "loml", her lead-off single — a bold, vulnerable, and proudly sentimental release that she made with her own two hands. With Logic Pro as her instrument and exposure as her North Star, junni wrote, recorded, and sang this song into existence in solitude but not in loneliness, with hope and the ghosts of still-unreleased songs as her companions.

What's so compelling about "loml" isn't just the sentimental lyrics or the otherworldly swell of strings and brass over soft piano — it's the backstory. As a queer artist who grappled with the scars of being gay in a religious household, junni reclaims the idea of marriage and love with this track. junni takes its cue from Sara Bareilles' "Gravity," building the song on the same emotional intimacy, allowing it to unfold slowly and then soar in a manner that mirrors the perilous journey from doubt to hope. The title — a pet name for "love of my life" — is more than a catchphrase. It's a quiet statement, a whispered prayer to the world, and a wink to that unknown woman who some day may read it and recognize it was written for her. 


Crafted out of nothing more than a laptop, a voice, and a vision, "loml" is a reminder that bedroom pop can empower in the digital age. What started as a straightforward piano-vocal demo transformed, as if by alchemy, into something cinematic — a lush orchestration of strings, trumpets, and hopes, constructed note by note with care and commitment. It's a testament to the fact that artistry doesn't need a fancy studio or large crew; sometimes it just needs faith in the story that you're sharing. And for junni, that story is a story of perseverance, of kindness, and the unapologetic optimism that love — real, enduring, soulmate-kind-of-love — is still possible.

At 25, junni refers to this as her quarter-life crisis in action — but it's more of a genesis. "loml" is not so much a song as an opening, the first page in what will undoubtedly be a gorgeous, slow-burning book of sound and self-creation. And who knows, perhaps somewhere on the planet, junni's dream wife will listen to this and see herself in the notes, in the yearning, in the vow. Until that time, "loml" is a sweet offering — from a lovesick girl with a songbird heart, to a world that never gets enough love.
