Los Angeles-based alternative outfit Love Ghost has been going from strength to strength since they exploded onto the scene in 2016, winning over fans and critics alike with their distinctive blend of alternative rock and emo rap. Fronted by Finnegan Bell and accompanied by Daniel Alcala, Cory Batchler and Daniel Gallardo, Love Ghost’s music has connected with audiences worldwide.
Recently, Love Ghost’s frontman Finnegan Bell ventured to Mexico, embarking on collaborative projects with various Latin artists, producers and talents from the region. This relentless spirit of collaboration led to their most recent work; a partnership with the Mexican outfit Wiplash on the brand new single, “LEFT ON READ.”
“LEFT ON READ” is a pop-punk anthem that dives into the modern phenomenon of feeling ignored through text messages. Drawing inspiration from artists like Machine Gun Kelly, All Time Low and Green Day, Love Ghost and Wiplash have concocted a high-octane rock track that’s impactful and instantly catchy.
The song kicks off with a bouncy guitar riff before Finnegan Bell’s compelling vocals enter, riding atop a punchy drumbeat and crunchy guitar backdrop. The pre-chorus eases off the throttle briefly, allowing for a moment of anticipation before the track explodes into a captivating, anthemic chorus. It’s a burst of truly infectious pop punk wrapped in slick sound design.
A noteworthy element of “LEFT ON READ” is the fusion of music and rap. In the second verse, Wiplash steps up to the plate, delivering razor-sharp flows. The production of “LEFT ON READ” is handled by Mike Summers, a renowned producer with an impressive portfolio that includes artists like Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne,and Tech N9ne. On October 29th, Love Ghost and Wiplash performed “LEFT ON READ,” sharing the stage at Indie Foro Rocks in Mexico City to bring the new track to a live audience.
Looking ahead, Love Ghost shows no sign of slowing down with new tracks like “Dopeman” on the horizon, featuring Ghana Afrobeat artist Camidoh. They’ve also got an upcoming album in collaboration with Marilyn Manson’s guitarist and producer, Tim Skold, commissioned by Metropolis Records. With their unstoppable string of collaborations and prolific sonic output, Love Ghost continues to operate at the highest level.
