This follows with another cheerful tune <em>\u2018Grinding Gears\u2019<\/em> which has an awesome beat and melody, you won\u2019t be able to stop your feet from twitching along. The track stars outstanding guitar instrumentals that showcase <strong>Luke\u2019s<\/strong> talent. Honestly, I just can\u2019t help but want to dance along to the fantastic rhythm and mesmerising chorus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The favourite from the record is <em>\u2018Another Throwaway Song\u2019<\/em> for being exceptionally melodic with stunning riffs and loving lyrics that sweetly tug on your heart strings. The tune is pouring with real emotion that every listener can truly relate to. I also adored the added punchy swear words, a real attention grabber. Another hit is <em>\u2018Open Stories\u2019<\/em> which is a more buoyant rocky track; it also has an incredible electrifying guitar instrumental.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The other top track <em>is \u2018Walk This Path Right\u2019<\/em> for the imaginative lyrics that sweep the listener off onto a wonderfully dreamy story. The song is skilfully mesmerising with the slow emotional melodic pace among ambient acoustic riffs. <em>\u2018Brand New Lands\u2019<\/em> finishes with <em>\u2018Too Soon\u2019<\/em> which combines the varying styles, moving from a slow harmonious acoustic track to a fantastic powerful fast-paced piece.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>\u2018Brand New Lands\u2019<\/em> is a smashing record full of innovation and individuality. If you enjoy listening to new acoustic music made from genuine talent and passion, this is one for you. <strong>Luke Godwin<\/strong> has clearly put his heart and soul into this album, which makes it a real delight to listen to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">4\/5<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>\u2018Brand New Lands\u2019 <\/em>by <strong>Luke Godwin<\/strong> is available now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Luke Godwin<\/strong> links:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/lukegodwin.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/iarelukegodwin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/iarelukegodwin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/lukegodwin.bandcamp.com\/album\/brand-new-lands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Words by Chantelle Kelly (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChantelleKelly3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@ChantelleKelly3<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London-based musician Luke Godwin reveals his many talents as a singer and songwriter through his new album \u2018Brand New Lands\u2019.
