Twin Shadow, the musical project of Brooklyn singer/songwriter George Lewis Jr., has been a bit dormant since his 2012 album Confess. But today he has released a brand new track, recorded in Los Angeles.
This track, entitled "To The Top," is drenched in nostalgia. Lewis Jr. has always had a penchant for that Top Gun 80s soundtrack sound, and this track is probably the song that delves most into that territory. He wrote a short description to go along with the new track:
"What is it when you realize that someone isn't right for you? Or when you find that you do not and can not posses someone entirely? You want someone so bad and it feels like hell.
It's not like the first time, once loved love evolves, and you no longer have as much control, and it frustrates you. I think because of this feeling we find ourselves constantly wanting to reset, like new years resolutions, like dreaming up moments from the past where the ending flips on its head, like true forgiveness...We just want to say "wait wait wait, this went too far in the wrong direction, can we try that again."
