‘Lost’ is the kind of track that aids escapism; a dreamy, lush slice of contemporary goodness framing listeners into a cathartic, euphoric and bright aural universe. It’s a place for reflection, but also for joy and hope. Such a dualism is well-mirrored in the contrast between the song’s mellow, understated and poignant verses and the more explosive, expansive and hazy drop. It’s a balance that works well, at least in the context of what the track stands for.
Such a formula is not unique to ‘Lost’, and in fact can be found in other releases by the American producer and songwriter Clinton N. Describing his work as ‘surreal realism’, the talented creative operates in the elusive border between reality and imagination, making sure his records are both ethereal and relatable. Classically trained in both piano and cello, Clinton has made quite a name for himself in the music industry, both as a solo artist and as a collaborator for others.
Speaking more in-depth about ‘Lost’, Clinton N explains: “It is about someone who makes you feel safe, feel loved, feel cherished. Someone you do not ever feel lost with.” The track also features the precious, luscious vocals of upcoming pop songstress AINA, helping the track reach its maximum potential.
