Mixing Soft Ballads and Beatboxing, the Unpredictable and Unique Lukey B Delivers 'My Love Is Haunted'
Luke Barratt known as “Lukey B” is a singer/songwriter from the UK. His broad range of influences from soft acoustic ballads to beatboxing HipHop makes up his unique and somewhat unpredictable sound.
Being already well known as the front man of promising up and coming alternative indie rock band, Rapturous, who have had mentions in the likes of the NME and on BBC Radio, Lukey B now plans to take the next step in his music career by releasing work as a solo artist.
So far in his career, Lukey B has played venues up and down the country including at the iconic 100 club in London and recently played to a sold out London crowd for his headline show at Moustache.
Lukey B’s debut single which was released in July 2024 ‘Bella’s Song’ was received to amazing praise from the likes of Abbie McCarthy on BBC Introducing who commented on the track by saying “[it] Would sound at home in Oasis’ back catalogue.”
Lukey B who likes to see himself as a Philosopher and as someone who is always trying to see and create positivity all around him even in the toughest of times is now back with his second solo offering in ‘My Love is Haunted’.
‘My Love is Haunted’ has “Indie Rock Classic” written all over it. It's very Britpop inspired with regard to its tune and tempo with simplistic lyrics driven by heavy guitars and pounding drums, putting us in mind of early Kasabian and the aforementioned Oasis. It’s definitely got that 90’s vibe to it being used to maximum effect.
Lukey B has said of the track:-
“This track definitely takes inspiration from Oasis and Noel Gallagher’s style of writing. The track is about being a big lover but your love being tainted/haunted due to past traumas. The lyrics also talk about mental health struggles resulting from trauma yet still trying to help everyone around you. Its a song for the lovers not the fighters, the empaths amongst us.”
The track features Luke Barratt on vocals and guitar and Dan Lucas on Bass and Drums. The Track was written by Luke Barratt and was Recorded/Mixed and Mastered by Dan Lucas at The Joplin House Studios in Kent.
