“404” is the new debut single by Americana singer Abby Litten. The song features guitars and a simple drum part. Her voice takes center stage around the instrumentation, and draws on the influences of modern country and pop music. The song is catchy and has enjoyable instrumentation and pacing. The song tempo fits perfectly for the track, not too fast, not too slow, it fits just right.
Her voice is captivating, and sweet with the simple melody and lyrics she crafts together. You can tell that she is a talented singer just by hearing her voice for the first time. She wrote the song while away from home, spending time in Ontario, Canada. She calls Bristol, UK home, and this song describes some of the challenges of being at home.
The simple yet beautiful chorus simplifies a million feelings down to one simple phrase. “I need to find my way,” she sings. This line is repeated twice, and then the chorus is sung a total of three times. The verse lyrics shed light on these traveling worries that many experience. “Always dreaming of a one way train, no destination, if I board will it rain? When will I know if it all works out okay?” she sings.
In a press release for “404”, she lists a couple of her main inspirations and influences. They include Noah Cyrus, Johnny Cash, and Old Crow Medicine Show. Hattie Murdoch is credited with helping with the production and mastering of the track.
