Lost Individual is a young folk artist from Vienna. He described himself as a singer/songwriter who champions the art of simplicity, and I think that fact speaks for itself in his music.
His latest single, “3am,” is a gift. There’s something beautiful about the idea of gifting a song to somebody, and that concept of pure love is captured within every intimate moment of this sublime acoustic track. The finger-picked melody has such a soothing, warming quality to it. Lost Individual’s feelings for this person, the giftee, are certainly well-translated to music. He said he sought inspiration from photos and videos of the person he had in mind. The tender, hushed, and deeply-personal nature of the vocals and lyrics make that abundantly clear. It sounds like a soundtrack to a home footage reel. His crooning, heartfelt and impressive singing is reminiscent of other fantastic folk-pop/folk-rock artists, such as Ben Howard. Lost Individual has a voice that evokes the same power and raw emotion. The harmonized vocals were particularly mind-bending. There are some real vocal ear-worms in this song. Lost Individual knows how to express his feelings for a special someone, but he also knows how to compose a technically-impressive and melodically-catchy folk ballad. And if he wants a strong single to gain an audience, then he has certainly picked the right one. I hope it lifts his music career off the ground.
