Lipford, the Italian-American pop sensation that has won people’s hearts with his unfiltered music sharing, has dropped his 14th single, “All Night Long.” After breaking from his long-time alt-rock band, MANTRAM, Lipford embarked on a solo journey that was as intensely personal as it was revealing. Produced by the artist and recorded at the Jungle Music Factory studio in Tivoli, with Francesco Grammatico at the mixing desk, “All Night Long” perfectly embodies the complex and intense feelings that characterize the life of a human being.
The song itself is a complex exploration of longing and uncertainty. “All Night Long,” at its heart, is about the harsh contrast between desire and reality, the gaping wound between expectation and the often disappointing reality of life’s randomness. Set to a brooding rhythm that swells into a nearly hypnotic fervor, Lipford wonders if a passing flare of passion can really erase the burden of unresolved problems, however temporarily. It is a resonant question with no honest answer, one that hangs, quiet and solemn, overhead while the track plays, beckoning you to think about their romantic face and flight.
The song’s essence is in the lyrics, which wonder about the strength of such a momentary bond to change life’s woe. Can one night of overwhelming passion make all the unresolved problems disappear, or can a love, even ephemeral, however intense, make life’s experience better. Lipford walks that tightrope between escapism and reality wonderfully, and he doesn’t give any straight answers, even if he does invite you to take what they will from his music.
“All Night Long” is an undeniable melting pot of Lipford’s eclectic influences, from the deep, melancholic heights of Chris Cornell and Jeff Buckley to the vigorous passion of Red Hot Chili Peppers and the intricate melodies of Tears For Fears. His alternative rock roots are evident with becomes broad swipes of pop-inflicted melody that sound modern and wholly associative with the guy who’s been there a while.
With the song, Lipford welcomes us into a night of reflection, a temporary space where love, desire, and reality blur. Whether consumed by a brief fling or just inside your head, “All Night Long” is the perfect soundtrack to your introspective sojourn. In the end, Lipford has a simple answer that sometimes, the best way to face life’s most brutal truths is to focus on the beauty of moments and a night that lasts “All Night Long.”
