Well, summon Luke returns with a cosmic love anthem on a very appropriate day. "Andromeda" is the first of a string of singles from the sweeping pop-rock songwriter and powerhouse vocalist, who engineered the single over the past year and a half, with plans for a full-length album to follow.
Always revered for infusing mythology throughout his music doing so, Summon Luke draws on the otherworldly for a song that poses a question as ancient as the stars above: how can two souls connect in the infinite void of existence and create something tangible and beautiful? The inspiration may be astronomical, but the essence of "Andromeda" is deeply personal.
"Andromeda" brims with an energy that somehow feels familiar and new. It's an alive mix that evokes images of a band in a groove, having the time of its life. Guitars shimmer and jangle as if reviving that golden age of pop songwriting championed by the Beatles, as the hi-fi approach to drum production introduces a 90s power-pop spirit like the Gin Blossoms or Fountains of Wayne. It's a song that knows exactly what it is: a finely tuned, feel-good rock song that loves music itself.
There's a classic but unpretentious vein of songwriting here that anyone who delights in such will feel right at home. "Andromeda" isn't about reinventing the wheel but taking something timeless: melody, harmony, and heartfelt lyricism and delivering it with sincerity and excitement. There's no overproduction or unnecessary frills, just a straight shot of rock-solid songwriting with a hook that sticks in your mind long after the track fades out."
"Andromeda" really raises the bar. If this song's a sign, listeners are in for a set of songs that explore big-picture ideas and do so with a kind of musicality that will keep you repeating. So whether you're celebrating love or longing or need an anthem you can't deny to soundtrack your day, keep your ears open this Valentine's Day. "Andromeda" is here, and it has a little bit of the cosmos.
