Swinging back into the alt-pop scene,
rising star LONA unveils his latest
sensational release ‘Darkest Days’.
Laced with softly melancholic guitar riffs,
LONA’s gravely rock-edged vocal
performance punches through to reflect
the rawness of the song’s deeply
personal core message. Contrasting with
the captivating pop-infused melody, the
heartfelt and vulnerable lyricism sees
LONA speak from first-hand experience
about looking to the light at the end of
the tunnel to pull you through life’s
tests. Reflecting this idea of battling
through the tunnel, the track’s video
sees a spot lit LONA focus on the light to
overcome life’s darker moments.
Speaking on the track, LONA explains
“Darkest Days is a tale of two people
struggling in a relationship. It’s about
when the person you love is lost and
they feel like there is no way out of the
black vacuum inside their head. The song
is about being able to battle through
these times. It’s about knowing that life
won’t always be like this even though
you may see no way out. I personally
know that the darkest days don’t last
forever and that’s what this song is really
about. I saw no way out - but there was
and the people closest to me got me
through my darkest times. I wrote this
song for the people who may not have
other people to get them through. You’ve
got me.”
Already building serious heat with
critical acclaim from the likes of CLASH
and WONDERLAND, 2021 continues to be
a stellar year for LONA as he prepares for
his slot at the Isle of Wight Festival
where he is opening the main stage for
Liam Gallagher.
Continuing to enthrall fans and
tastemakers alike with his beautifully
honest song writing and hypnotic vocal
performances, LONA’s rock-infused pop
anthems underline him as a seriously
notable artist while he carves his name
into 2021 and beyond.
