Starting out writing songs in his bedroom, but quickly climbed the ranks of the industry as he began to visit studios, record original material and break the top ten of iTunes’ singer/songwriter charts time after time. Making it the regional hearts of UK Unsigned Songwriter of the Year and semi-finals in the UK Songwriting Contest, Luchi lends his talents to a slew of other artists, passing on the mentoring torch after working with Stargate and their team at Los Angeles Academy for Artists & Music.
The latest of Luchi’s emotive and thoughtful singles is the new track ‘Web Of Lies’. A breakup anthem at heart, the track is infused with more dark pop sensibilities that we usually hear from the ballad vocalist. This doesn’t seem to phase Luchi, however, who delivers a passionate and captivating performance over the plucky percussion and smokey sounds. The foundation of the vocal chops and deep piano chords helps audiences on a journey of self-assurance. Though Luchi’s themes lie in calling out those who hurt him, there’s a sense of overcoming and optimism in the artist, transferring this hope to the listener through ‘Web Of Lies’
Luchi takes a deep dive into the track, sharing, ”So I wrote “Web Of Lies” last year after a pretty bad breakup, which is the story of my life. Thank god for songwriting as it’s saved me from many a bad breakup. It was a relationship built on so many lies and that inspired the title of the song because one lie led to another and he had spun a web so thick that I don’t know how he kept track. Well he couldn’t and that’s how I worked it out but we digress. The song opens with how you fall into the trap as I am an over sharer and often will tell you my life story after only knowing you 5 minutes but that’s great for a narcissist who will then use that to play on all your insecurities. It weaves through all the games and manipulation sadly a lot of us experience in relationships and as the song goes on, the power builds up which I love and you finally say enough is enough and walk away from a toxic situation.
The song plays on the concept of karma and I love that. It feels like you’re almost being haunted with all the backing vocals and adlibs coming from all different angles. I’m not one of those people who breaks up with someone and wants revenge for the things they done, I leave that up to the universe to do onto them what they have done, I mean I will write a song about it but that’s my therapy. The song is a bit darker in vibe to the stuff I have been releasing recently and I like that it shows a different side to my music. I think it suits the song to be a bit more edgy and harder as it was actually written as a piano ballad and was a lot more vulnerable sounding but when I got together with my producer Chris Stagg, we just went for it and I love what we came out with. After a little 6 month hiatus, I think it’s the perfect way to reintroduce myself to my audience and sets up what I have to come for the rest of the year music wise experimenting with different sounds and styles while still keeping it pop.”
