Argyle Returns with a Powerful Anthem for Change ‘Heal Me’

Published

on

Argyle is back, and with his latest single ‘Heal Me’ delivers a track brimming with urgency and emotional weight. Known for his soulful, introspective music, the Scottish artist, now based in Zurich, ventures into darker, more thought-provoking territory. ‘Heal Me’ is a harbinger of his upcoming EP, slated for release in February, and if this track is any indication, the EP will be a powerful and necessary artistic statement.

Musically, ‘Heal Me’ is striking, conjuring the emotional gravity of Paolo Nutini’s ‘Iron Sky’ and Hozier’s ‘Take Me to Church.’ Like those songs, ‘Heal Me’ isn’t just a sonic experience; it’s a call to action. Argyle uses the track as a vehicle to examine the dark realities of the modern world—from religious hypocrisy to political corruption and the devastating impact of capitalism. His message is clear: we can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to the suffering and injustice that surround us. Instead, he calls on individuals to take responsibility, to confront these issues head-on, and to advocate for peace and compassion.

The song’s instrumentation plays a crucial role in conveying its message. Built on a melancholic gospel choir sample, ‘Heal Me’ has a spiritual yet sorrowful undercurrent. The choir’s haunting harmonies are paired with sharp guitar riffs and shuffle drum patterns, creating an atmosphere that feels cinematic—reminiscent of a tension-filled Quentin Tarantino film sequence. This charged backdrop elevates the song’s intensity, making Argyle’s message feel all the more immediate and raw.

Argyle himself describes the track as his first major “statement song,” and it’s easy to see why. According to the artist, the gospel choir sample immediately guided the song’s theme, and the writing process flowed naturally, completed within just a few hours with the help of Tom Oehler. The speed and spontaneity of the songwriting process are reflected in the track’s raw energy—it feels both urgent and deeply personal, as though the music couldn’t have been contained any longer.

What makes ‘Heal Me’ stand out is its ability to channel Argyle’s emotions into a universal message. It’s a song that grapples with disillusionment, but rather than dwelling in despair, it advocates for change. Argyle’s rich vocals glide over the haunting instrumentation, delivering lyrics that challenge the listener to think critically about the systems we live under.

As a teaser for his forthcoming EP, ‘Heal Me’ promises a collection of music that will not only be sonically captivating but also socially conscious. Argyle’s willingness to tackle heavy topics while maintaining a sense of hope and humanity sets him apart as an artist with both a message and a soul. In ‘Heal Me,’ he offers not just a song, but a rallying cry, urging us all to face the world’s injustices and seek a path toward peace.

For fans of emotionally charged music with depth, ‘Heal Me’ is a must-listen, signaling Argyle’s evolution as both a songwriter and a voice for change.

LLOREN captures the raw, transformative energy of chasing dreams in the heart of LA with new single!

Published

After years of making cinematic music for film & TV, British pop singer and former “The Voice” finalist LLOREN is limbering up to release her dream pop debut album “It’s Always Sunny in LA” very soon.

But first she is dropping a huge new single “Last Star In LA”. In a similar brand of dreampop as Sweden’s LÉON, “Last Star in LA” is a love letter to the city that has shaped Lloren’s music career, from writing her best songs, meeting her favourite collaborators, to landing syncs (30+) in trailers, TV shows and ads (latest for Kay Jewelers). “Last Star in LA” captures the raw, transformative energy of chasing dreams in the heart of LA.

“The song is just a love letter to the city! I wanted it to sound like a love song, but if you listen closely, you can hear it’s got a double meaning”, says LLOREN. Produced by Daniel Pashman (Little Monarch, Gold Brother, Ellee Duke), the track brings all the cinematic feels and tugs on the heartstrings from the outset with its instantly memorable hook and big nostalgic stadium pop atmospheres.

The track follows a string of recent singles which have seen LLOREN featured by prestigious music tastemakers The Line Of Best Fit, gain airplay from BBC Radio 2’s Angela Griffin and Radio X’s John Kennedy, interviewed by Diva Magazine and Celebmix and the video for her track “Like This” won a Telly Award in the US, as well as also being nominated for a prestigious Leo Award in Canada.

Grey’s Anatomy, The L Word, 1923, Wish, The Company You Keep, Made In Chelsea, Love Island UK and Love Island USA are just some of the many sync credits LLOREN has amassed to date, which have steadily proved her rich, versatile vocal and powerful contemporary inspired compositions to be a cut above the rest. And in “Last Star In LA” we see this combination in its full glory, as LLOREN weaves her magical honey-like vocals around an 80’s style production backdrop, that feels spacious and contemplative yet kicks the listener heavily in the heart with a big dose of yearning emotions.

LLOREN was recently invited to join American artist Fleurie on her first European tour. During the tour, she also caught the eyes of promoters who invited her back to open for household names Johannes Oerding and Michael Patrick Kelly and an audience of 10000 people. In the UK, LLOREN is no stranger to the annual PRIDE celebrations having played both Manchester and London where she headlined the women’s stage and has entertained crowds over 10000. She has also toured with Canadian artist Mauvey with whom she collaborated with on the track ‘Pillow’, performing it at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend as well as the Isle Of Wight Festival 2023.
