Sweden’s Ludwig Hart, who over two albums has established himself as our foremost innovator of the classic American road rock aesthetic, is now releasing his biggest song yet. Opening with an epic a cappella intro, “Journey” is about hope and doubt, painted in bright, bold colors with a soundscape even bigger than on the artist’s breakthrough album, 2021’s “Paloma”. The vocal arrangements are powerful and tasteful at the same time. The guitars howl enough to fill any arena in the Mayor League. You can try to get the melodies out of your head, but chances are you won’t succeed.
