New Music Review - ‘Lonely, Only’ by Montgomery
George Manning, AKA Montgomery, has quickly emerged into the New Zealand music scene over the past year with his beautifully vulnerable songs that are put out into the universe for others to also feel all of the feelings that he has to share.
Montgomery released his latest single Lonely, Only at midnight last night - a really soothing for the soul track that will take your mind off the events happening in the world, making you feel blissful and re-energized.
Lonely, Only is a very slowed down power ballad that captures the essence of love, hope and Montgomery’s sincere personality. With perfectly hooked sounds, the song fills you with aspiration to fulfill something that you are really wanting, such as a relationship or a change in career. Whatever it is you’re seeking, this song will make you want to go out and grab it with two hands. It will spark a fire of inspiration within you, that is just how Montgomery’s music makes you feel on the inside, which is quite special.
What I love most about the song is the fact that it hits all of the right notes with the sound, the mixing and also the lyrics. It will make you wish (if you aren’t already) that you could be in love. It is the ultimate fairytale wrapped up into just under four minutes - clean and indefinitely refreshing.
While Montgomery is still new to the music scene, he carries a presence with him that will always be truthful and exciting - it is evident when listening to Lonely, Only that he pours everything he has from his mind and heart into his musical career.
Montgomery reminds me of the band The Fray - particularly their song You Found Me and that being one of my favourite all-time songs, most definitely is a compliment.
If you’re a visual person like myself, you may in fact see this track being played at the end of a romantic movie, where the two who were wanting to be together the entire time finally make that a reality, even after some turmoil. Or, you could see this being played at your future wedding. Whichever way you choose to perceive the visuals behind it, you will find it overwhelmingly lovely.
Lonely, Only is going to stand the test of time and will be a real treat for everyone once it takes off worldwide.
You can listen to the track now on all good streaming services and don’t forget to follow Montgomery, all links below!
