This brand new track “Lost In You” by “CONT4MIN4TED” has an insanely mesmerizing and tribal-like feel to it from the very first second. The music surrounds and absorbs you, as any great CONT4MIN4TED piece tends to do, this time though; there’s an added darkness, an added element of the manic, awesome, fast and captivating magic, which drives a whole new energy into the soundscape. The beat is intense, the rhythm holds its pace as the sounds and the ideas unravel around you.
The music is strong, the theme is crucial, and the melody used for that main line or chorus section are bold and memorable. At its core, background and concept aside, this one is an emotionally driven dance song, with an unapologetic vocal narrative, and a catchy hook to make you really remember that key idea. The unapologetic nature of the lyrics is worth mentioning again, as it’s important. It’s an important song – it touches on a topic that matters; one that is still very much in need of a voice, every single day. The title is perfectly appropriate and highlights quite precisely one of the crushing feelings that many people in this sort of situation experience on a daily basis. The manner in which the topic is presented and performed is unflinchingly honest, and real. A life lived in fear is not much of a life at all, and no one should have to live that way. Any artist trying to draw focus and thought towards such an issue is always worth taking the time out to listen to and support.
There’s a huge amount of emotion in CONT4MIN4TED’s voice, there’s a distinct style to her vocal performance, a unique tone that carries with it a certain sort of vulnerability – which is not often heard in dance music. What it does, particularly in the case of this kind of song, is reach out more effectively to those who are most likely to be moved by such a track. It gives listeners a more believable narrative, someone they can relate to, someone they can trust and understand. I think that’s possibly one of the strongest elements of this song. That personal touch really brings out the bare emotions, those which ultimately lead to the creation of the project in the first place.
