Robert Silvesterโs โLost in the Cityโ pulls you into a swirling urban haze of love, loss, and late-night neon-lit confusion. Written and recorded at Seabrook Studios in Exeter, this genre-blending single takes cues from Warhaus and Massive Attack while slipping in a splash of โ70s funk, creating a sound thatโs both hauntingly atmospheric and unexpectedly groovy.
The song opens with shimmering serenity before being jolted by hard-hitting beatsโlike a peaceful night suddenly interrupted by the chaos of the city. Strings swell in, unbothered by the disruption, smoothing over the tension like streetlights flickering against the darkness. Then, the sultry male voice of Robert Silvester enters, speaking and whispering in layers, dripping with mystery and longing. Just as youโre drawn into the hypnotic pull, a rich, soft-voiced female singer cuts through, adding warmth, vulnerability, and contrast, turning this track into a true sonic duet. Melodic guitar chords groove effortlessly underneath, keeping the momentum steady and irresistibly catchy.
Lyrically, Lost in the City is a cinematic snapshot of a couple in conflictโan argument erupts in the crowded streets, and suddenly, one is left wandering, searching, unsure how to find their way back to love. Itโs as if the song itself is mirroring the emotional turbulence of the momentโone second lost in thought, the next lost in motion.
With talks of a potential radio mention and a live acoustic session on the horizon, Lost in the City is gearing up to be a track worth getting lost in. Stay tuned with the UK-based singer-songwriter and drummer on Spotify.
