Jon Gurd - Lion

The build towards Jon Gurd's August 14th Anjunadeep album drop continues as he's followed lead single "Together" with brilliant new joint, the album's title track, "Lion." A subtle, six minute affair that presents incredible poise and inspirational inner strength, "Lion" makes masterful use of a brilliant break and strong strident synths. As Gurd indicates in the track's description, positivity propels the track ever forward, shining a light on the uncharted darkness that lies ahead. This theme is crystalized in the lone vocals of "Lion" as Gurd begs to "see what's coming now / on the other side." And if that doesn't make this the perfect track for these (incoming cliché) 'dark days,' then I don't know what would. Capture the courage that is "Lion" here and donate to KIDS (an organization close to Gurd's heart) here.
