Alex Kate “Lost In You”

The very thought “Lost In You” gives its listeners is the haunting feeling as if time has lost its track in its pursuit of beauty. Cinematic, sensual and sensitive, “Lost In You” revolves around a love that makes you want to abandon the rest of the world.

You can’t seem to shake Alex Kate’s vocal from your head. As light as it is innocent and cheerful, her melodies dance in your heart like the dreamful phantom. “Lost In You” makes quite a mood-filled impression of a rose-colored gaze, fixated on every detail of a smile that fascinates you. In this gaze, time has become frozen. Kate’s storytelling focuses on painting those sensual moments with her sonics and lyricism, creating vivid imageries through her graceful, sensitive storytelling.

The chorus of “Lost In You,” on the other hand, feels euphoric and liberating. Just like in the music video, we see a woman dancing freely in the middle of a country road. Embracing the motion of spiralling in love is a combination of dizziness and euphoria. For once, let yourself be happy, feel the happiness running through your veins, feel your heart racing like a horse.

The repetition of the chorus feels extremely haunting, mimicking the unshakable, mystic nature of love. It might not be the most impressive line in the entire song, but you can’t really get the simple melody out of your head after listening.

Daniel Newcombe’s ethereal soundscape did the magic of bringing this piece to life. The dreamful, traceless, yet tender sonic atmosphere is simply immersively perfect for the theme.
