New York-based pop sensation A-Zal proudly unveils his sophomore single masterpiece, 'Lonely Town,' on October 6.
This soul-stirring single, adorned with a romantic melody and his mellifluous vocals, comes on the heels of the phenomenal success of his debut track, 'Movie Script,' which rapidly ascended to an impressive #51 spot on iHeartMedia's Mediabase Top 40 Activator Chart. Drawing comparisons to the likes of global pop icon Ed Sheeran for his soulful voice and knack for crafting resonant melodies, A-Zal proudly stands as the first pop artist of Indian origin to break into the top 51 charting artists, representing the independent music scene.
A-Zal's musical odyssey continues to unfold with 'Lonely Town', and from the opening note, it becomes clear that this single is poised to ignite emotions and strike a deep chord within the hearts of its listeners. The single is a must-listen for anyone seeking a musical experience that transcends the ordinary. With each melodic embrace, it draws you into an enchanting narrative that pays a heartfelt tribute to A-Zal's poignant journey, his unwavering resilience, and the city that cradles his dreams and his heart, emerging as his muse.
The lyrics of 'Lonely Town' poetically draw a parallel between the city and a companion who walks alongside A-Zal throughout the highs and lows of his life. In 2018, A-Zal relocated to the United States, leaving behind all that was familiar to chase his musical ambitions and the elusive American Dream. He found his new home in the vibrant heart of New York, a city renowned for its charismatic allure and the ability to ignite grand ambitions. The recurring refrain, "In a lonely town, I’m in a lonely town, I can feel you now, And I need you now," reflects his deep connection to the city, echoing a longing for belonging.
However, amidst the city's glamorous façade, A-Zal confronts a masked, deep-seated loneliness, and this contrast serves as the powerful catalyst for this evocative track. As the singer croons, "Will you be my lady, Before the world would drown, Will you hold my hand, To walk this lonely town," the lyrics yearn for companionship amid the challenges of life, fueling the emotional complexity.
Speaking of the track, A-Zal reflects,
"‘Lonely Town’ is a song I wrote during my early struggle days in New York when I lived off tips I received for my performances at subway train stations. I started here with nothing in my hands and felt lonely even while I walked the buzzing streets filled with glamour. Eventually, it was New York City that held my hands, the wind below my wings, and my home. This song is my way of giving a tribute to New York.”
The accompanying music video is a mesmerizing journey through the lens of New York, captured in evocative black and white. As A-Zal strolls through the city with his guitar in hand, he effortlessly strums his way into the hearts of passersby, mirroring the lyrical narrative, highlighting his quest to find connection and belonging in this captivating yet sometimes lonely town. The song unfurls a moving chapter of his story of trials, triumphs, courage, tenacity, and musical brilliance.
'Lonely Town' is now available to stream on all major streaming platforms, adding a vibrant and feel-good touch to your music playlist. A-Zal's music breathes life into the streets of this 'lonely town,' filling them with raw emotions, and the journey is one you won't want to miss!
