Alwyn Morrison recently dropped a single and video called "Lenox Hill" that depicts life in the city and the approach lets the song feel cinematic and riddled with character.
This is a piano-pop song utilizing elements of several pop styles to create a light-hearted sound as you listen to his story unfold, which is one of the best parts of this song as a whole.
Listening to Alwyn get into detail gets you pulled into the track, but its production and sprightly tones are catching, to say the least.
The music video the single comes along with is outstanding and the editing was well planned as it features certain aspects of those descriptive lines in the lyrics so you can see first-hand some of the stories he's singing about.
This song was very welcoming, and Alwyn invites you in so you can be a part of those stories, feelings, and thoughts.
It's not just a song about his life. It's a song about how particular parts of his life made him feel. A very expressive single, articulated with well-placed lyrical phrasing not only helps the song's sentiment push through further but also lets the song have a powerful catchiness packed with flavor.
He is recalling these situations and feelings from his life. Looking at the past and recollecting such beautiful detail throughout it all.
You can also tell he's an outstanding pianist and that's also featured a lot in the video itself. He's a wizard on the keys and can definitely write a pop song with the piano that can evolve into something bigger.
He always keeps the keys at the forefront and makes sure that there's a steady rhythm and backbone for him to tell his story with.
This is a pop song. It's a song that grabs you and once you get into it, you don't want to let go either.
That's part of the beauty of a track like this. Even though the story is detailed, and you know it's about his life, you still end up relating it to your own somehow.
Because Alwyn is being nostalgic, you end up feeling it and becoming nostalgic as well just from listening to the track.
The single combines a great beat with thick but crisp piano work and plenty more that managed to produce this indelible pop vibration.
There's something special about a song that has this level of nostalgia lyrically. You know it's authentic.
You can pick up on that while listening to it, and because of that, the song keeps you hooked.
Very smart songwriting done with a heartfelt approach with plenty of that Alwyn charm, which you get more of with the music video.
Into this single from Alwyn Morrison and hear more about "Lenox Hill" as there are stories to be heard.
