Lost Myself with Blitz Vega
Blitz Vega release new single ‘Lost Myself’, a song which perfectly encapsulates the whirlwind of emotions that have emerged from the Blitz Vega story. Its verses possess a taut intensity, with Kav’s hushed vocals expressing the full vulnerability of the lyrics. But then the song takes flight into its hook, with sorrowful strings and gospel-tinged vocal harmonies supporting the raw feeling of th words. The track’s climactic guitar solo takes it somewhere else entirely, evoking the catharsis of beginning to come to terms with such a loss.
