Love Ghost makes it a hat-trick here at Unrecorded with his third feature in a row; this time the spotlight is on his newest collaboration with UK legends The Skinner Brothers. Titled ‘Worth It’, this powerful slice of alt-rock magnetism digs right into the conundrum of self-worth with a raw, uncompromising approach that listeners have come to know through previous collaborations ‘Freedom in a Padded Cell’ and ‘Scrapbook’.
Led by Love Ghost‘s signature emotionality, this track is the sonic embodiment of putting your heart on your sleeve. Only through the vulnerability are we fully able to tap into that desperate search for belonging, acceptance and, of course, self-worth. Listeners are taken on this deep-dive into the psyche through a track that’s hinged on contrasts. Eerie melodies weave their way through serrated guitar lines, while relentless drums propel the track forward. This sense of urgency overflows into a fiery and unrestrained guitar solo; providing that pivotal point of catharsis.
The poignant vocal performance pulls us further into this swirling pool of chaos and release. It’s not about easy answers or hollow affirmations, instead Love Ghost and The Skinner Brothers drag the truth out into the open. The key message wrapped up into this unflinchingly honest alt-rock anthem, is that we shouldn’t dress up our insecurities, we should recognise them in all their uncomfortable glory. ‘Worth It’ is an essential listen for anyone that’s wrestled with self-doubt, which is, let’s be real, just about everyone.
You can also listen to ‘Worth It’ in our Indie Rockers playlist.
