Shane Lucas arrived on the scene with his self-produced debut single ‘Blue Skies’ on 23rd February 2024. The 26-year-old artist opened up on social media about his struggles with Alcohol Use Disorder in his adult life and to celebrate his first year of sobriety, he released his first single ‘Blue Skies’.
Instagram 23/01/2024:
“I wrote this song to help myself through the year I’ve had. It’s a very special one to me and I want to share it with you all, especially with those of you who are actively fighting addiction and mental health.
We are strong and we are not alone x”
The lyrics deal with feelings of loneliness that the artist had at the beginning of his path to recovery. The beginning of the song feels incredibly spaced-out with lush reverb tails on almost everything but the lead vocal which is so dry, it’s almost as if he is sitting right in front of you telling you a story of self-doubt.
The artist later goes on to apologise to himself for not being there when he needed it most, for falling out of love with living and admits that he prayed for a way out when everything seemed completely hopeless.
The track builds until the mix opens up fully and sounds absolutely massive with the power of an orchestra behind him to let us know that he is not going to go out without a fight.
He started a TikTok account where he regularly posts about his music projects and personal experiences with sobriety and mental health. He can be found @shanelucasmusic on all major social platforms.
In a recent Instagram story, the artist announced exciting news coming in late March 2024. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground.
Shane Lucas is one to look out for.
