New York, NY (Top40 Charts) LUI HILL is a connecting force. Banging on his drums in a rhythm reminiscent of a determined heart, his vocals take you somewhere along a soulful journey, miles and miles away from where you started. And yet it's a journey eerily familiar.
Between the worlds of indie, pop and soul to hip hop; LUI HILL creates a space where limitations dissipate. What's left is music one sinks into totally, while the imagination takes off into a dream like state. The self-produced artist spends much of his time in his secretly located studio, where shadows and light show themselves in the music created. The sexiness of hip hop for indie, and dark electro beats for otherwise light indie-pop all merge and create the universe that is LUI HILL.
5000 Miles is a smooth blend of laid back indie pop with a strong essence of soul- Reminiscent of genre classics, but with an undeniable modernity. Chanting voices hint at ancient laws- requesting their desires with a desperate but hopeful longing. LUI's voice takes you through a phase one seeks escapism, and finally closure from and leaves his listeners with the distinct feeling that it's ultimately found in a place far, far away.
