Feel good music, electronic riffs and a summertime groove – indie pop vocals and scenes that simply walk us through the joys and uncertainties of a day spent living freely. The velvet Echoes captures the key to uplifting optimism, with the stylistic and conceptual choices of Lost.
Featuring programmed vocals with an energising twist, Lost is a well-crafted pop song at its core, detailing our protagonist gearing up for the day ahead – walking off into the freedom of the world, without a care or concern to hold him back.
It’s an inviting concept, fast-paced for that summertime escapism rush, but also with this notable synth riff intermittently appearing – something instrumentally distinct to back up the natural earworm of the song’s chorus. There’s even a brief and almost Celtic or folk-like solo that pours through as the middle 8, before we drop down for an intimate acoustic reflection, prior to the final build into the addictive warmth and multi-coloured embrace of the song’s hook.
‘Let’s get lost’ is a joyful concept, and it’s surrounded by music that’s equally well-suited to raise the mood and leave you feeling a sense of happiness and possibility. The instrumentation and lyrics unite beautifully, and the song works its magic well.
