For anyone and everyone who appreciates depth, emotion, and fervent passion in their music, I give you 19-year-old Luca Antonio all the way from New Jersey; a true authentic artist who makes music from the deepest parts of his heart, tackling themes to do with love, loss, heartbreak, mental health, self-reflection, and more relatable themes close to his and his audience’s hearts. At the end of the day, we are all navigating life the best we can, and it is always nice to feel less alone as we indulge in some expressive and profound music that feels like it was written specifically for us—that is what Luca aims to provide with his music—a solace-enriching and sanctuary-providing tapestry of lyrics and melodies, custom made for your own soulful indulgence.
His newest release, “wherever” follows the success of his earlier release, “hope” which has been streamed by over 9K people, at least on Spotify alone. This single is as deep and emotive as the earlier release, if not more, but has this lively and upbeat foundation that is in perfect contrast to its melancholic message of grappling with heartbreak.
The intro is guitar-laden, as the purposefully strung instrument exudes some equally resolute melodies that lay a firm foundation and provide an excellent backdrop for the luminous and emotion-drenched lead vocals by luca.
Before long, the upbeat concoction of bright melodies and rhythms is unleashed, giving the track an entirely brand new scope that is equally backed by such heightened emotional intensity, especially towards that memorably catchy chorus that is delivered with such deep-seated emotions of hurt, frustration, and relief, encapsulating the track’s essence of regret and coming to terms with moving on.
“wherever” is a true reflection of Antonio’s remarkable penmanship that sees him translate something depressing, heartbreaking, and possibly traumatic into something as haunting and unforgettable as this…one that helps a listener navigate their own turbulent experiences as they dance with reckless abandon to its upbeat quality.
As a track, “wherever” cleverly transcends tradition folk, pop, and rock boundaries and has that excitingly cinematic interlude as it progresses, making it an engaging masterpiece worth your time.
Let “wherever” mark another new addition to your expanding catalog and tell everyone you know all about it.
