Faith Low Releases Dark Emotional Single “Manic” Tackling Addiction
Faith Low is an emerging artist based in Edinburg, UK. He has been making music and playing in bands for over ten years. Though in recent years, the artist began to explore storytelling in his vocal and songwriting. His previous release, “junkie luv” was featured on BBC introducing Scotland.
Faith Low’s musical upbringing in nu-mental/grunge and early 2000’s bops has shaped his sound to be raw and explosive. “Manic,” coming from a deeply emotional place is about coming to terms with mental illness and addiction.
“Manic” features dark, unconventional pop soundscapes and haunting melodic rhymes. The song is cathartic and therapeutic. Faith Love’s vocal is blurry in the production but the struggle and sadness in his voice permeate the sound walls. While heavy beat seems to be taking over the world, the natural melancholy in the sound draws similarities to Lana Del Ray.
Written during a hypomanic episode after being up for a few days, Faith Low’s lyrics are raw and brutally emotional. The way he articulates his experience gets under your skin. They are so easy to relate to for anyone who shares the same struggle.
