Dublin hip-hop three-piece LightNife have released an uplifting single, ‘Lost in My Head’. Originating from Finglas/Glasnevin, the group consists of singer Gavin Arnold, and rappers Stephen Wearen and Mikey Brennan, who are both also producers.“Lost in My Head” is the second single the group have released since their debut album ‘Afterhours’ was released in March.

‘Lost in My Head’ is a twinkling pop rap track which exudes R&B tones. LightNife spread their emotive songwriting over a sweet melody and uplifting instrumentation as glistening keys flutter between warm guitar lines and wispy soundscapes. The track maintains a dreamy quality as the trio delicately layer and build the musical backdrop, allowing the sweet vocals ooze passion and soul between the bubbling beats. The rap elements inject a dash of edge and power into this mellow pop tune as LightNife find a sublime blend between easy listening pop, punchy rap and chilled R&B creating a refreshing and satisfying listening experience. 

About the track Stephen says, “The song was written during lockdown, when we were all isolated. It’s about being lost in your own head, alone with your thoughts. There are worries about the future, everything is unsure.The song explores the mental state of each member of the group. It’s about things we all might overthink: relationship struggles, seeking success but figuring out what success really means, knowing where we stand with ourselves, and finding out who we are and how to become the best versions of ourselves.”
