New York-based artist Lucas Player is a former music composition student who took a bold decision to leave convention behind in pursuit of his creative dream, walking a path entirely on his terms. Classically trained in piano and guitar, his music is an intricate interplay of traditional discipline and unrestrained creativity, balancing composition with emotional impact.
A true solo artist, Lucas handles every aspect of his musical output, from writing, recording and producing his sound. He first stepped out as a solo artist at 15 years old under the alias Kibishi, sharing his debut single, “Hiding From Friends” in 2021. Over the couple of years, he shared a trio of tracks, clocking hundreds of thousands of spins and building up a dedicated following.
Yet, at the height of his early success, Lucas vanished from the scene, choosing silence over the spotlight. Now, at 21, he’s breaking that silence with a song that’s been living inside him, demanding to be heard, bringing us his brand new single titled “More Than You.”
The the most significant song he’s shared to date, the single takes inspiration from cinematic artists like jagger finn and Joji, wrapped up in an intimate lo-fi pop soundscape. Written and recorded in the same room, the track carries the weight of everything he’s held back over the years, marking his return with a sound that’s compelling and meaningful in equal measure.
Opened by the delicate flutter of soft piano notes, a melancholic scene takes hold as Lucas’ hushed vocals drape emotive whispers over the stripped back arrangement. Casting a moving sound, the gentle rustle of drums adds a dusty rhythm and a lilting sway to form a mellow, slowcore vibe as his vocals ache with emotion above.
It’s a truly stunning piece that’s wholly arresting and entirely engrossing, offering a heartfelt listening experience that’s impossible not to be moved by. Making his return in emphatic fashion, “More Than You” sees Lucas Player open an exciting new chapter in his musical story, one that’s sure to lead to more magical musical moments and charm listeners around the world.
