A singer, songwriter, and creative visionary who hopes to etch their name into the storied musical history of their home in Atlanta, independent artist LUMEN has quickly been seizing their opportunity to enter the limelight and astound fans worldwide as they emerge onto the scene. Embodying the spirit of alternative indie pop in their lyrics and musicality, their work gives listeners a lot to look forward to, as their unique style shows a level of thematic cohesion far beyond their years. Ending the year with a bang, they celebrate the release of their Sophomore single, Mopeds in Thailand, a track that embodies the motivational feelings their work strives to cultivate.
Fast paced guitar cords strum to begin the piece, and immediately we feel the themes of youthful spontaneity flow through our speakers as the world of the music builds around us. By the time the artist introduces the narrative a few bars in, we get a sense for the optimism the work is meant to inspire, as they belt out the opening line, “Can you get off work and come with me? There’s a place I want to go. Pack your bags and let’s catch a flight, we’ll chase the sun across the globe.”
Anchored in a punchy and upbeat rhythm that drives the emotionality of the track, their work leaves us energized with a sense of ambition to seize every chance for adventure and experience that might come our way. Having showcased themselves so boldly with this early release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from this young artist’s mind and studio.
