Lennon Cripe ft Dylan Cotrone ‘ONE LIFE’ – A Genre-Defying Anthem of Hope and Resilience

Published

on

Lennon Cripe’s new single, “ONE LIFE” (feat. Dylan Cotrone), is nothing short of captivating. Known for blending elements of reggae, alt-rock, and pop into what he calls “Gulf Pop,” Lennon effortlessly fuses these genres to create a sound that feels both fresh and familiar. From the first note, “ONE LIFE” draws listeners in with its infectious rhythm and catchy hooks that will stick with you long after the song ends.

Lennon’s musical roots are deeply entrenched in his diverse upbringing. Raised between the laid-back vibes of Florida’s Gulf Coast and the vibrant culture of Chile, Lennon’s musical identity has been shaped by his father’s love for roots reggae and his mother’s affinity for ‘90s grunge and punk. This eclectic mix of influences is palpable in “ONE LIFE”, where a steady reggae pulse meets raw alt-rock energy, while catchy pop melodies rise above it all. What stands out most, though, is how these genres don’t just coexist—they blend seamlessly, creating a genre-defying sonic experience that leaves a lasting impression.

“ONE LIFE” resonates with an empowering message of resilience and self-discovery. The track revolves around the central idea that life is fleeting, urging listeners to make the most of their time. Lennon explains that the song is a reminder to embrace the struggle, stay true to oneself, and make dreams a reality. This message of hope is a powerful one, especially when paired with the infectious energy of the music. Despite the challenges Lennon has faced throughout his life, including a period of homelessness and personal struggles, “ONE LIFE” is an anthem of triumph—an ode to the power of pushing forward and never giving up.

The collaboration with Dylan Cotrone adds another layer of magic to “ONE LIFE.” Their vocal interplay creates a dynamic energy, with Cotrone’s contributions complementing Lennon’s style while adding depth to the track. Their voices blend in a way that feels both intimate and expansive, creating a sense of unity that perfectly matches the song’s message of togetherness and perseverance. As the song builds, the vocals soar, adding emotional weight to the song’s already impactful lyrics, making “ONE LIFE” feel like a personal declaration rather than just a track on a playlist.

In an era where genre-blending is becoming more common, Lennon Cripe’s ability to carve out a unique sound is a breath of fresh air. “ONE LIFE” is an exhilarating first step in what promises to be a brilliant musical career. With its infectious hooks, introspective lyrics, and genre-defying fusion, the single is a must-listen for anyone looking for something that feels new yet strangely familiar. As Lennon prepares for the release of, You Only Live Forever, “ONE LIFE” stands as a powerful introduction to his world, and there’s no doubt his future is as bright as his music.

Last Train to play UK dates!

Published

After ‘Weathering’ and ‘The Big Picture’, acclaimed Lyon-based 4-piece Last Train‘s new album is a direct reflection of raw anger. Recorded in a crumbling, unheated chateau, ‘III’ channels frustration into meticulously composed rock. Formed in the 2010s, Jean-Noël Scherrer, Julien Peultier, Timothée Gérard and Antoine Baschung gained a strong following with their first two albums and toured with Muse and Placebo. In 2024 they released ‘Original Motion Picture Soundtrack’, an orchestral reworking of their songs, but the new album marks their true return to form as a rock band. Tracks like the first two singles ‘Home’ and ‘The Plan’ combine rock energy with melody, balancing emotional depth and anger.

With ‘III’, Last Train have produced a radical and authentic third album, far from the aseptic super-productions. With ‘One by One’ – the focus track, you’ll feel right in the band’s rehearsal room: screeching feedback, punchy drums, overflowing bass and incisive choruses. Provocative as it is, the track embodies a frantic race: the train will go on, with or without us. Mature, confident and increasingly daring, these ambassadors of French rock continue their dizzying ascent, no matter how high the wall!

The band are touring Europe extensively this year in support of the album, including a headline London show and appearances at Focus Wales and The Great Escape Festival. Don’t miss the chance to catch them live in all of their glory.

Upcoming UK shows:

8.05: Focus Wales, Wrexham (20:15- Ty Pawb)

10.05: Focus Wales, Wrexham (19:25- Penny Black)

12.05: The Grace, London (Headline show)

16.05: The Great Escape, Brighton (7pm at The Wing at The Brighton Centre).
