The sophomore single from pop duo Longlight, ‘Alara’ is a retro nod to the power of human interaction
Alternative duo Longlight release their second single ‘Alara’, an 80s-inspired pop rock ballad celebrating the fundamental relationships which define and nourish the human experience. Underscored by a lone electric guitar, the track opens modestly. Jo Williams’ soulful vocals are amplified by the use of echoes, achieving a rich and expansive sound which reverberate well beyond the speaker. Soon after, Lucas Polo’s trademark guitar line crescendos into a gloriously-layered apex, pairing with retro synth and a pacing drum beat. Lyrically, the track takes a paired back approach. “If you need me, I’ll be here,” proclaims Jo in reference to the fundamentality of human contact, no doubt a sentiment exacerbated in recent times.
