23-year-old virtuoso LIDO releases his highly anticipated debut albumEverything, via Pelican Fly / Because.
Everything is a cohesive
composition of 11 tracks; each showcasing and transcending LIDO’s
distinctive, multi-faceted production style. Every track represents an
intricate chapter of LIDO’s story; resulting in a raw, emotionally
honest debut. Inspired by a difficult period in LIDO’s life;Everything sonically explores the emotional intricacies surrounding a break-up.
Speaking on the LP, LIDO says;
“It’s an unconventional breakup album.
It’s not an album about a girl, it’s an album because of a girl — my
healing process after losing somebody that meant a lot to me. It’s
called ‘Everything’ because it's the story of when you let somebody be
everything to you, you risk losing that everything and being left with
just yourself.”
The LP speaks volumes on LIDO’s talent as a multi-instrumentalist, a producer and a creative mind. Standout track ‘Murder’, lulls
the listener into a playful reverie with its piercing vocals that
bounce through the track before twisting into a bass heavy cacophony of
sound. LIDO rounds out‘Murder’ with the addition of an
addictive third element to the track; adding an unexpected final string
chorus that leaves the track on a gloriously sweet note, fully
showcasing his dexterous production ability.
Seamlessly leading into the sonically smoother offering ‘Dye’ LIDO melts an emotive R&B-style vocal with bouncy synths and a pulsing kick drum. Penultimate track ‘Angel’ lays
bare LIDO’s sensual vocals; the effectiveness of the track lies in the
simplicity of the buildup to a frenetic crescendo, which is fast
becoming LIDO’s sonic signature.
Lead single ‘Crazy’, set global media alight; garnering support from a host of notable titles including Billboard, Hilly Dilly, Complex, Huffington Postas well as radio champions Huw Stephens, Phil Taggart at BBC Radio 1,Jamz Supernova at BBC 1xtra and Zane Lowe on Beats 1.
2016 has seen LIDO embark on a sold-out US tour, produce for Chance the Rapper and A$AP Ferg, whilst also executive produce Halsey’s ‘Badlands’.It’s no surprise this upcomer is heralded as one of the brightest stars of the future and his album Everything the most anticipated debut of 2016.
