Alwyn Morrison arrives with his dreamy single, "Lenox Hill," a spellbinding synth-pop power ballad that treats each note with emotion and elegance. Teaming with Grammy-winning creatives like Emmy-nominated composer Michael Kooman and award-winning producer Michael Carey, Morrison offers up a track that is at once as cinematic as it is intimate, embodying the kind of storytelling that sticks in your mind long after the last chord dies away.
"Lenox Hill" bursts onto the scene just in time for the year's most romantic day. The collaboration with Kooman, whose work has also appeared on Broadway alongside Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald , and Sutton Foster, guarantees a sophistication and depth that separates this track from the pack. Kooman's deft signature touch can be felt in the song's musical structure as it effortlessly infuses lyrical sensitivity with bloomed melodies that rise and push forth feeling.
Helping to steer the track's sonic terrain is Michael Carey, an experienced producer with a noteworthy résumé. Carey had worked on Pablo Alborán's Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum album Terral and projects for Idina Menzel and Gwen Stefani, giving "Lenox Hill" a rich, polished sound. The track, laid down with live instrumentation in Los Angeles, has a pulse to it that modern electronic music often lacks, due in no small part to the exquisitely textured piano work of Harlan Hodges, a participant in the GRAMMY NEXT Program. His playing brings an emotional depth, rooting the song in painful tenderness and a kind of strength.
Morrison found a way to develop something deeply personal but universally relatable. "Lenox Hill" is about the spaces love fills, the moments that mark it, and the echoes it leaves behind. It's the sort of song that plays while the credits roll on a love story, the melody you hum long after the lights come up.
"Lenox Hill" figures to make up the soundtrack of candlelit dinners, late-night drives, and wistful reflections all at once. Under Morrison's leadership and with an all-star creative team, this drop is less about another love song and more of a moment, a mood, and a memory to come.
