Since I had a note about the track &#8220;<strong>Ghost<\/strong>&#8221; from emerging synth-pop artist, <strong>Joe Hythe<\/strong> sent in and was suitably impressed with the release being, genuinely good and thoughtful. The track is only the second single which Joe has released, and his first supported with a music video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To tell the truth, I am usually sceptical about Halloween songs as some of them are frightfully freakish just for the sake of it being spooky, season. I think going about things while striking a balance, fairs much better in the long term. Being as Joe is setting about establishing himself, it makes sense to approach his Halloween release with a clear mindset of his artistic intent going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/geo.music.apple.com\/gb\/album\/ghost\/1534201972?i=1534201973&amp;itsct=music_box&amp;itscg=30200&amp;ct=songs_ghost&amp;app=music&amp;ls=1\" style=\"display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 13px; width: 250px; height: 83px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tools.applemediaservices.com\/api\/badges\/listen-on-apple-music\/standard-black\/en-US?size=250x83&amp;releaseDate=1603411200&amp;h=e55b035d4efee9a1dc5e34f9b8da8490\" alt=\"Listen on Apple Music\" style=\"border-radius: 13px; width: 250px; height: 83px;\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joe Hythe - Ghost [OFFICIAL VIDEO]\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eVWUqht49Ao?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps when the lyrics of such a song relate to a real-life story. Joe has an interesting anecdote to share, explaining how &#8220;<strong>Ghost<\/strong>&#8221; came about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWhen you&#8217;re ghosted by your crush, get crushed on by a ghost.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>This song came together at the piano in, maybe, fifteen minutes tops. I sat down to write yet another ballad about the guy I was crushing on, but I was alone in the house and distracted by all the stuff I had been reading about hauntings and the occult. It was an old house and, while I was working, I couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that I was being watched. When I hit on the hooky chorus, the door to the room swung open all by itself (ominous creak and all.) That\u2019s when I knew I had a winner, and probably the best songwriting story I\u2019ll ever have, too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The song exhibits a shimmering synth-pop aesthetic. The melody is really somewhat pretty, (which doesn&#8217;t sound anything like we&#8217;d presume a Halloween song to be.) &#8220;<strong>Ghost<\/strong>&#8221; in this instance isn&#8217;t necessarily a spooky song in that sense. The opportunity to play around with the themes and launch it at Halloween allows Joe to inject a little bit of fun into the melancholy topic of ghosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The music video is highly original. I have never once considered caravan parks to be places of eerie, goings-on before. I feel like Joe, his team and video director<strong> J. R. Dawson<\/strong> had the best time making this video. Filmed under Covid conditions, they pulled-off a quirky, light-hearted dose of ghostly, mischief-making. The synth-pop track is, immediately catchy, the lyrics exhibit a heartfelt feeling. The video, enjoyable and memorable. I am really impressed with Joe Hythe, I recommend you check him out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Connect with Joe Hythe<\/strong><br><strong>Facebook:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Joe-Hythe-100169348521963\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Joe-Hythe-100169348521963\/<\/a><br><strong>Instagram:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joehythe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joehythe\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Now that&#8217;s what I call electronic pop! <\/h2>\n<p>Only the best new pop, electronic and indie music makes it onto our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/eqmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This Beat Is Poptronik<\/a><\/strong> Spotify playlists.<\/p>\n<p>Curated by <strong>Mandy Rogers<\/strong> and <strong>Raj Rudolph<\/strong> from <strong>EQ Music<\/strong> &#8211;
