Combining aggressive production with shattering vocals, he creates an atmospheric mixture that has a life of its own.
The single is one he has been working on for a while and he is now happy for it to hit the airwaves.

As you walk the path of the single, you are filled with the emotions of the track while coming to realisations about your own life and experiences.
‘As Twilight Draws Near’ draws you in with a light piano line. The melody has a twilight feeling to it that is enhanced by the vocals. The piano line tiptoes down the soundscape as it grabs your hand and leads you into the darkness. When the beats come in, they bring a rise in atmospheric tones. The melody takes a turn later in the track while that light piano line rests in the lower levels. The additional layers of melodics build the personality of the track which is utterly amazing. The different elements all add a facet to the personality of the song that makes it captivating.
When the vocals enter, they have a lush and rich feeling like a velveteen blanket that rests heavily on your skin. The harmonising backing vocals create an almost gothic flow to the music that deepens the richness. LOZ’s falsetto is flawless and sends shivers through you. As the music changes, his vocals rise to meet the new movement. His performance moves you through the emotions of the track from the depths of regret to realisation and a rather uplifting acceptance. As you rise on his falsetto, you are pulled on the wings of tentative hope.
LOZ spins a web of melodic elements that take you on a captivating and compelling journey in ‘As Twilight Draws Near’. There is an amazing movement to the melody that creeps from twilight to tentative hope. His vocals match this movement while sending shivers rushing through you with his falsetto.
