New York-based artist Lew Mckenzie hits the world with his latest single “Alone”…a superbly melodic and electrifying R&B experience that is not to be missed by any music lover, not just R&B.
Lew is an established multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, and producer…he already does it all… which is why his songs have a vision, he’s the writer, he’s the director and he’s the actor…the vision is all in his mind…and this is surely one of the ultimate skills to have in this world of music.
His latest single “Alone” further takes this concept of a visionary and builds on it…he wrote “Alone” on the concept of living between two worlds…one that is external, made out of our surroundings…and an internal one, fueled by our minds and our imagination…the song then looks to explain that distinguishing between these two worlds is not as clear, straightforward or easy as we would have thought…I can definitely relate to that.
People can sometimes be focused on their life challenges to an extent that they either get consumed or run away from them, either way, this is not the reality of life…we always have a chance to think, figure it out, and make a decision.
So, when we’re alone, this could be an even more difficult task…
Lew says in the song…
Inside my nightmares
In the midst of a cloud
Ecstasy’s raining down
Not a thing I can feel
….it’s not easy being alone in the face of life, fighting alone.
On the musical side…” Alone” starts right away putting us in the midst of this dilemma, with a very musical hook played by the piano and a couple of synths…Lew kicks it in high gear with a stunning lead vocal line…followed by mesmerizing backing vocals…
“Alone” has a very high musicality, the scales, progression, and experimentation evident here is proof that Lew is winning on both a commercial level and on an experimental one too…he’s not shying away from treading uncharted musical water…and he makes it happen brilliantly.
Wishing Lew all the best in the world…we can’t wait to see what he has next for his fans and audiences…we’re sure it’s going to be amazing though.
Cheers!
