It might be just his third single, but LA-based newcomer mehro has already begun to form a buzz around his music. ‘Lightning’ is an interesting track that blends delicate guitars and dreamy vocals with a building soundscape that eventually reaches stadium-ready grandeur; you can imagine belting this out on a dark, warm evening at a festival. If you still remember what a festival is, of course. He explains that “the song is about the duality of existing: loneliness and companionship, love and fear, life and death, nights you wish could last forever, and days you wish could be forgotten.” Having already built an impressive following, mehro’s career is only looking up. -Dan Peeke
