ARTIST : ANTON WITTER
TRACK : SYNTHESIZED
RELEASED : 5/12/2025
Revival Synth....“Synthesized” is a sleek, evocative electronic track that marries shimmering synth-driven textures with cinematic depth. Written, performed and mixed by Witter himself, it weaves lush synthesizer lines with subtly rhythmic undercurrents, drawing on a rich tradition of 80s-inspired synth-pop and electronic soundtrack aesthetics — a style the artist has explored throughout his career.
The track works beautifully as a soundtrack piece: atmospheric, nostalgic and emotionally resonant, its expansive electronic palette feels like a snapshot of a narrative rather than a conventional song structure, which suits its role as part of the score. The crisp production and melodic warmth help “Synthesized” evoke broader moods of reflection and anticipation, making it feel both personal and cinematic.
Taken from the forthcoming feature film Synthesized — written and directed by Chris Green for Shout to the Top Productions and starring Thomas Turgoose — the single works not just as standalone music but as a piece of storytelling. Its textures and tonal shifts suggest a sonic world shaped by imagery and emotion, enhancing the film’s atmosphere even before audiences see a frame.
Verdict: A compelling electronic single that blends soundtrack sophistication with retro-futurist charm — ideal for listeners who appreciate synth-led moods that feel both spacious and narratively engaging.
ARTIST : LONELYKLOWN
TRACK : CHRISTMAS STARS
RELEASED ; 5/12/2025
“Christmas Stars” by lonelyklown stands out immediately — not only for its melancholic winter mood, but because it’s released as a charity single, giving the track a deeper sense of purpose that resonates with its emotional themes.
From the first verse, lonelyklown paints a scene of cold streets, rushing crowds, and quiet loneliness beneath the glow of holiday lights. Rather than embracing the typical festive cheer, the song leans into a more honest emotional landscape: isolation, reflection, and the strange mixture of magic and melancholy that often defines December for many. The lyrics draw sharp contrasts between consumerism — “Christmas cards or credit cards… money spent for someone’s gain” — and the yearning for genuine connection.
The synth-pop, 80s-tinged production wraps these thoughts in a warm, nostalgic glow. Dreamy pads, gentle electronic textures, and a reflective vocal delivery create an atmosphere that feels cinematic yet intimate. The refrain — “Christmas stars are shining where you are” — adds a flicker of hope to the emotional distance the song explores.
As a charity release, the song’s introspective message hits even harder: amid the bustle and commercial noise of the season, lonelyklown invites listeners to look inward, think compassionately, and remember those who feel alone or far from the ones they love.
“Christmas Stars” is not a holiday jingle — it’s a heartfelt, thoughtful winter ballad with a purpose. A beautiful choice for anyone seeking depth, sincerity, and meaning during the holiday season.
