The sentimental soundscapes from London based singer/songwriter Lorne is not only a reflection of his immense talent, but also a window into his introspective mind. Classically trained in piano at age seven, the Berkshire born artist has an eloquent flair for song writing, both sonically and lyrically, having been bathed in music culture throughout his upbringing. Indulging in Peter Gabriel’s music in his teenage years, Lorne credits the artist as one of his biggest influences, with hues of his work heard in Lorne’s music, along with whispers of artists like Coldplay and Elbow.

It's evident from his pensive lyrics that Lorne has a very thoughtful and meditative approach to his music, stating, “Every song I write starts with a feeling”. He continues, “When I am working on a new demo, I will listen back to it in the car or on the train so that I can listen to it in different places. For some reason, I find this helps to process what I have written and see how it is falling into place.”

Stirring with a cinematic ambience, the new single “Bow Out” is an evolution from his 2017 debut EP Maze. Compelled to write following the demise of a friendship, “Bow Out” narrates the need to take time for yourself and move away from unfulfilling and draining relationships, with the artist revealing, “In the lyrics, I looked for ways to describe the need for space and a way out of a difficult situation”. Drifting in a sea of torturing keys and wistful vocals, the instrumentation captures the melancholic sentiment of the song, though is uplifted by undertones of hope and trust that things will get better.
