A chamber pop gem emerges from this latest, introspective, and vividly colored single from Night Wolf, featuring Lois Powell. ‘Lost My Way Home’ is layered, lush, and dark.
The pair crossed paths during a local open mic night where Night Wolf was out for a hunt for a new voice to grace his latest invention, ‘Lost My Way Home’, and found in Powell’s intimate and vulnerable strength a perfect pairing to the trodding melancholy that he had dreamt up on the track. Night Wolf, hailing from Bedford, and Lois Powell, hailing from Norfolk, collaborated on this release spanning the east of England.
The song, composed and written by Night Wolf, is about resilience and standing up and facing the hardships of whatever situation we find ourselves in. Written in a minor key, featuring an alternative pop arrangement led by serene piano chords, later accompanied by a perky and distinctive bass line, later still by barraging drums and wailing staccato violins, the chamber pop leanings on this song find a great pairing with Lois Powell’s energetic but shy vocal delivery, which very much shines through its tiny inflections and imperfections. Powell is a terrific singer whose feeling is naturally channeled through the layered vocal line and haunting yelps that live in the background of the arrangement.
‘Lost My Way Home’ is a memorable release that is full of passion from both individuals involved in its creation, and while its ample darkness might not be for everybody, its message of resilience and infectious build-up will easily find their way to the hearts of those who are not scared of the dark.
