There has been some extremely exciting news in the music world lately. Recent weeks have seen the announcement of a number of new shows, tours, and festival lineups. While there’s a lot to anticipate for 2025. I am particularly thrilled about the return of producer, singer, and songwriter Lostchild to new music. After a break focused on producing and writing for other artists, including RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Season 4 contestant, Le Fil, and Australian queer pop singer-songwriter TIN, – Lostchild is back. He has introduced a highly anticipated new musical era, sharing an intriguing new sound with his track “LVST,” marking his first release since the “Lostsongs” album in 2021.
In Lostchild’s early music, low self-esteem and anxiety is deeply engrained, crafting a poignant style of synthpop. However, a remarkable transformation has occurred! In 2024, he is stepping into a place of newfound confidence and embracing his sexuality while continuing to address his struggles with social anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. Moreover, creating music that resonates even more deeply with those navigating similar challenges. It’s an inspiring evolution for someone who once felt uncertain about their space in the world.
Gone are the soothing synths, replaced by a pulsating bassline that captures Lostchild’s newly invigorated spirit. But this shift is more than just sonic—a full artistic reinvention. The lyrical narrative now thrives on playful energy, as Lostchild confidently sings of toying with a number of interested potential hookups. Moreover, the vocals, characterized by sincerity, now also pulse with a magnetic and provocative allure that draws listeners in.
Above all, to capture the essence of the track, Lostchild explains…
“L V S T” can mean “lost” or “lust”, or even a combination of the two, and is a perfect, obnoxious snapshot of the dichotomy that is this new Lostchild era”.
This release effectively invites listeners to immerse themselves in a captivating club experience. By embracing a fresh perspective in this phase of his career, Lostchild is making significant strides in his evolving musical journey. “LVST” marks an important milestone as he explores new creative horizons.
