Love Ghost could be considered the reincarnation of Gen Z’s Linkin Park. Using relevant themes, superbly engaged atmospheres and styles, they make music for the troubled soul. By expressing their own hardships and thoughts within their well written lyrics, they have garnered a large following in the past few years. This is their latest single, Jealousy.
With a soft, slow chord progression-the emotional disparity is clear. The vocals are raw, vulnerable and real. It is a moment of doubt, ID and jealousy expressed over some crystalline arrangements and lyrics. The sound they hit for the chorus is explosive, Love Ghost bringing the alt-rock, nu-metal genre they love so much. Pioneering it to push a change forward to fans, it is evident they have to tap into some emotional damage and uncertainty in the light of the same. From hip-hop to the hard rock strains they use, Jealousy brings an emo rock pull, especially for the bridge. There is no telling what limited direction Love Ghost will take-each void the compass points to has an answer. Their will to put forth a spotlight on their desensitized selves resonates multifold with all their listeners. If this is your first time listening to them, it isn’t the last.
A song like this would be great in Jennifer’s Body (2009), which has been seasoned with Cobra Starship and All Time Low as well. Love Ghost have become a regular in many rock and hip-hop playlists for their refreshing take on emotions and their repercussions. Follow them and listen to more on their Spotify!
