Keith Aaron Shares New Single ‘Lovestruck’
Singer-songwriter and producer Keith Aaron is ecstatic with the release of his brand-new single ‘Lovestruck’.
The dark fusion of R&B in ‘Lovestruck’ adds to the story about going through a breakup and realising that you were so infatuated with a person that you lost yourself in the relationship. To Keith Aaron, it means looking at yourself in the mirror and being completely honest and vulnerable to yourself. It means accepting the facts.
The R&B song demonstrates his enduring passion for music and his unparalleled ability to combine powerful lyrics with alluring sounds. Bass, drums, voices, pads, bass, arpeggiators, synths, and keys are all mixed together in this track. It’s a somber song that features a standout production and captivating vocals by Keith Aaron.
Speaking on the single, Keith Aaron shares, “I had recently gone through a breakup and realised that toward the end of the relationship, I wasn’t myself anymore. I had lost myself while I was giving my love to someone else. I felt like I was being controlled to think for myself, almost manipulated in a way. There were a lot of things that I needed to say and I had to lay it all out on this song.”
As a rising talent in the music industry, Keith Aaron is still making his imprint. He is well known for his excellent productions, his ever-expanding creative talents, and his general love of music, all of which influence his compositions.
It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.
The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.
What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.
The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.
Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.
“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
