MUSIC FARMER 5 - Review by Adam Jones
An Epic Ballad of Resilience
Today I had the pleasure of reviewing once again the talented maestro LUCHI and his newest single, "Fix This Love" - a rare musical gem which encapsulates the poignant saga of loving someone entangled in the clutches of addiction. The song weaves a narrative of despair and love with a finesse that transcends mere lyrics and melodies. As a thematic counterpart to LUCHI's earlier piece "Mountain," "Fix This Love" delves into the overlooked perspective of those who orbit the chaotic world of addiction - their pain, their struggle, and their undying hope.
LUCHI, whose roots trace back to the vibrant city of Glasgow, has blossomed into an artist of profound emotional depth. In "Fix This Love," he orchestrates a symphonic ballad that commences with a haunting piano melody, swiftly adorned by the delicate-yet-powerful embrace of a string quartet. This musical prelude sets a stage both somber and magnificent, heralding the entry of LUCHI's soul-stirring voice. His vocal prowess, reminiscent of Sam Smith’s depth, Phil Collins’ fervor, and Sting’s aura, traverses through the melody with a heartbreaking honesty.
The lyrics of "Fix This Love" are a poetic odyssey, raw and unguarded, echoing the tumultuous journey through addiction’s shadow. Phrases like “You set fire to your life, just so you could dance in the flames” and “Can’t say I didn’t try, to fix this love” are imbued with a sincerity and passion that resonate profoundly with anyone who has ever stood on the periphery of addiction's despair. The crescendo of the song, where LUCHI's voice ascends into an ethereal realm, captures the sheer desperation and futile longing of a soul trying to mend an irreparable bond.
In a musical era often saturated with surface-level themes, LUCHI’s artistry stands out as a beacon of depth and authenticity. His journey, from a young lyricist in Glasgow to an artist whose collaborations span the globe, culminates in a style that is as soulful as it is mature. His personal experiences, which serve as the bedrock of his songs, lend an authenticity that transforms each track into a piece of his soul, shared with the world.
