Huddersfield-based Indie quartet LONG ISLAND’s latest offering ‘Fragile’ stands as an emotional ballad which tells tales of love, loss and the ephemeral nature of life itself.
Laced with hook-laden heartfelt lyrics, the band’s new release adopts a mellow, dulcet attitude propelled by low-key acoustics backing a thoughtful lyrical stint provided by frontwoman Rizzy Stephenson.
‘Fragile’ serves as a vulnerable insight into the band’s emotional states following a car accident in August of last year. The track relies on climactic drum beats laden with angst and emotion to create a hard-hitting single that you can still tap your foot to.
Elements of powerful synth build a hard-hitting bridge that moves into a merciful concluding chorus. This anthem for hope highlights the importance of holding loved ones close; born out of a bittersweet reflection on a traumatic period in the group’s expedition, and has become their most tender and gentle offering to date.
