New single from LTB

Annapolis-based alternative pop artist LTB has recently been on the rise with a style that fuses enveloping soundscapes and stunning vibrato vocals. Distilling elements of pop and R&B into an intoxicating musical cocktail, his music often incorporates electronic percussion with tinges of jazz influences, creating a compelling sonic experience.

With a background that includes performances to both sold-out crowds and intimate gatherings across Annapolis and Baltimore, LTB has developed a magnetic stage presence that complements his deeply expressive musical style. Recently he’s been spending time in Nashville to study at at Belmont University while immersing himself in the city’s incredible music culture.

Drawing inspiration from a wide array of artists including The Weeknd, James Blake, Joji, Hozier and Steve Lacy, LTB’s music is at once accessible and innovative. His sound has struck a chord with fans of mainstream pop while offering something refreshingly unique, attesting to his ability to stitch together different genres and influences into a cohesive whole. In June last year he made his entrance with his debut single “Rewind,” which he followed up with a string of singles and closed the year with a three-track Christmas EP.

This year he returned with new material, releasing his single “Soul of the South” last month and now he brings us his latest outing with his brand new single titled “Lay With Me.” This track is a soothing groover that showcases LTB’s knack for blending smooth instrumentals with silky, emotive vocals. The new single thematically revolves around ideas of connection and intimacy, creating an atmosphere that’s warm and inviting.

As the instrumentation filters in, a hazy jazz-inflected atmosphere of soft sax lines and airy synths takes hold before the taps of percussion brings in the full arrangement driven by laid back drums and capped by LTB’s velvety vocal performance. Flowing with alluring melodies carrying heartfelt lyricism, gentle bass lines add subtle bounce as the artist’s rich voice hovers above to craft a sound that’s catchy and tender in equal measure.

Peppered with intricate instrumental flutter and shifting layers of sonic textures as LTB’s vocals serve as the guiding light throughout the track, it’s a truly delightful jam that puts the artist’s enduring songwriting talent and performance flair on full display. As LTB continues to share his dazzling sonic vision with the world, he’s sure to win over more and more listeners with each move he makes.
