Lynsey Tibbs announces her return with a beautifully relatable new single, "Lonely Night." This contemporary ballad speaks directly to the soul of anyone who's ever awaited a reply that never arrived.
On April 28, on "Lonely Night," they unpack the tender ache of anticipation in this always-on age of blue ticks and read receipts. It's a slow-burning, emotionally fertile love song that documents what so many secretly go through that jittery wait between messages that can suddenly feel like an eternity. With lyrical openness and a melodic flow that falls somewhere between the pop space of indie and the acoustic soul, not only does Tibbs sing about waiting, but you feel it. What's special about "Lonely Night" isn't just the emotion, it's the intimacy of its genesis. Recorded in home studios by Tibbs and his collaborator Keir Moore, the song has an authenticity that's difficult to fake. There's no over-polished facade here. Every note and breath feels lived-in, like a midnight conversation with a friend who knows exactly what you're going through.
The arrangement is spare enough that Tibbs's voice leads the pack warm and expressive, its subtle strength quietly radiating. This is a vocal that doesn't need to yell to be heard, and a song that opens its arms for you to lean into. Moore's understated production gives breathing room to the emotional landscape contained here.
