“To Be Lonely” is the latest track from Nashville-based artist Reed Gaines. Touting ample mood and soulful charisma, the track grooves with convincing replay-inducing appeal. Nocturnal, minimalist piano tones past the two-minute mark combine with a ghostly vocal backing to send chills, culminating seamlessly thereafter into buzzing pop-forward familiarity. “To Be Lonely” marks the final single on the From Across the Room EP. Catching production, melodic vocals, and a nostalgic soundscape fit for wintertime brooding converge for a memorable track here.
