It’s been 3 years since we last heard from Lewca, but “Like Liam Gallagher” was a striking return to the spotlight. The track holds the weight of an extraordinary emotional journey, serving as the artist’s first release following a forced break, which saw him step away from music and battle through life-threatening situations.
Rather than stepping back quietly, Lewca storms back with a song that revels in excess, attitude, and shameless joy. “Like Liam Gallagher” is an intoxicated, fuzzy anthem of Pop that revels in its sense of excessive intensity. There’s a wild quality that runs through the record, the rush of late nights, wild judgments, and the confidence that doesn’t ask for permission.
What makes this release special is the juxtaposition of its storyline and sound. Where many artists might choose a thoughtful or gloomy return after such a long gap, Lewca goes the other way. The end effect is a song that sounds loud and vibrant and hell-bent on celebrating the occasion. Its fuzzy Pop textures and decadent charm evoke a mood that is reflective and deliciously wild.
“Like Liam Gallagher” is a curious opening to Lewca’s latest phase, as the first single from his upcoming fourth studio album. The hallmark of an artist who has come through difficulties with his sense of humour, personality, and creative spark intact.
