Lugo™’s Let Them Eat Cake is a whole mood, with confidence that comes from decades of honing your craft and still finding ways to surprise people.
From the jump, “Beat Your Drum” bursts in like a carnival in full swing, sparkly, bustling rhythms, thumping beats, and relaxed, effortlessly blowing horns. The vocalist’s thick, rich voice beams, brimming with unshakable joy and a soulful power that could lift the heaviest heart. And when those backing vocals slide in, you just know this is a call to get up and move.
Then, sliding in smoother than silk, “Let Them Eat Cake” keeps the charm dialed way up. The guitar strums are relaxed, the beats catch you in a gentle sway, and Lugo™’s delivery turns tender and playful all at once. The admiration in the falsetto and a teasing sparkle in the tone gets turned up to political angel when the vocalist drops the line, “Let them eat cake, she cries in jest while velvet cloaks adorn her chest,” talking about the menacing cold heart that lies behind all that beauty and opulence, telling you a lot about the character of the people who can afford them.
By the time “Put It Where You Wanna” drifts in, you’re floating. The music has this translucent calm to it, deep beats anchoring sparkling percussion, all singlehandedly produced by Lugo™. Their voice is euphoric yet soothing, and those easygoing backing vocals make it feel almost communal, like everyone’s invited to the same blissed-out moment.
All through Let Them Eat Cake, Lugo™ blends soul, funk, and optimism with effortless flair. It’s a dance floor, a love letter, and a toast to life, all rolled into one.
