Earlier this year, we featured LTB for his authentic and evocative debut single, Rewind, as well as his search for peace and serenity in the intricate and profound sophomore single, Slow Down, so when we heard that the star was back with Living in Fear, we were curious to say the least.
Opening with a moody, immersive synth melody, LTB opens Living In Fear with atmospheric vocals as he sings the thought-provoking words, “Been in the dark for too song, been asleep too long, been ignorant too long, been in silence too long, been afraid too long, been away too long, been defensive too long…”
The track evolves with philosophical sensibilities as LTB reflects on the concept of Living in Fear and how it affects us, not only as individuals, but as a collective. We appreciate the wisdom that he shares and the glistening astral detailing that creates an impactful tapestry of sound with the bold and dimensional bassline.
The track is a powerful ode to self-realization with diary-like confessions from the rising star. With reference to the release of the opus, LTB tells us, “I wrote Living in Fear as a reminder to all of us to not let fear hold us back from being who we truly are.”
LTB continues, “Too many times, I’ve let my fears call the shots in my life, and this song is my way of pushing back. It’s like me smashing through the walls of fear I’ve built around myself and stepping into the real world, all fired up and unafraid.”
It takes a lot of vulnerability and openness to channel this sort of energy into a track, and the result is nothing short of phenomenal. We are grateful to LTB for not only sharing his vision, but his depth in turn allows listeners to reflect on their own reality, thereby amplifying the expansion of consiousness within the collective.
Naturally, we have added Living in Fear to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream LTB‘s debut and sophomore singles, and anticipate future releases from the star.
