After reading our Q&A with Low Life Luke, be sure to connect with him on his social media, stream/share “High Life” on Spotify and be on the lookout for “The Sinners Life”, which will be dropping in May.
We're blown away by your new single "High Life". What inspired you to write the song and what was your creative process for its development?
I really appreciate It. The band All Saints which were around In the 90s; I really love how they write their lyrics. I feel like they are hugely underrated.
Also, I believe the recording process was hugely Important to make the vibe happen, as I wanted to create an up front intimate feel while also having a chilled vibe. It took a while to get it right but I always knew the end vision.
Can we expect a music video to follow for "High Life"?
Funny enough I was only thinking that today as before I was not, but the traction it received has sparked some ideas.
Definitely keep your eyes out before the summer.
What can you tell us about your upcoming album "The Sinners Club", which drops in May? Are there any featured artists appearing on it?
“The Sinners Club” has taken myself a year and a half to create my perfect album, in the sense of every genre I love is blended into it.
I really believe in Its diversity to go from singing smooth RnB vibes to going into the heavy hip hop realm. The only feature is a hugely talented beat maker Mayhem & Conquer from Australia who made a beat for my track “Bop”, which I also released. I gotta say a huge thanks to Lurch for helping co produce this album also.
Which song in your musical catalog would you say represents you the most as an artist?
That Is a good question. To be honest I would never say one certain song can define me as you will hear.
I don't stay in a certain genre, but if I had to pick a certain song off the album it’s called “Holy Ghost”. I feel something special about it and I am really excited to share It .
In your opinion, what's the state of popular music (ie pop and rap) in Ireland in 2020? Are local artists supported strongly there and what's the best way to grow your fan base in the country?
I’d say the scene is 50/50; on one hand there's a great set of talented musicians and on the other is a very cliquey media who only put people on who are willing to live on their knees for them. That is just not my style nor I believe that is what music is about, so I don't get involved.
I usually get more love from a lot of media across the seas like you guys who review music in a non biased sense. That is what I believe reveals real talent in the world.
I believe hard work and dedication to your field will always shine through in the end. I don't believe there is a set way to grow an audience as everyone has their own spark that will grab a person who can relate to them. Just know your strengths.
