With “Looking For Romance,” The Cumberland River Project crafts a stylish reflection on intimacy in the digital age, blending retro soul textures with the polish of contemporary indie pop. Written and produced by Frank Renfordt, the track feels both nostalgic and timely, addressing the quiet frustration of searching for genuine connection in a world dominated by dating apps and surface-level encounters.

Liliia Kysil’s vocal performance is the emotional anchor of the song—expressive, warm, and effortlessly elegant. Her delivery balances vulnerability with confidence, giving the lyrics a lived-in authenticity. Instrumentally, the track shines through its tasteful musicianship: Dima Fausto and Oleh Andrievsky contribute fluid saxophone and guitar lines that evoke classic soul and pop traditions without sounding dated. These elements glide smoothly over Renfordt’s groove-driven production, which is rich, organic, and danceable without sacrificing emotional depth.

What makes “Looking For Romance” stand out is its restraint. Rather than chasing trends, the song leans into craftsmanship, melody, and mood. The result is a track that feels refined and human—inviting listeners to move, but also to reflect. Emotional, elegant, and subtly infectious, “Looking For Romance” confirms The Cumberland River Project’s ability to merge timeless influences with a modern sensibility.
