Hey there, Lockestock family! We are excited to spill the beans about something that has been brewing in the depths of our creative minds. As we gear up for our next release this. upcoming Friday, the 19th of January 2024, I can’t help but feel a surge of anticipation and nostalgia. Why, you ask? Because this Friday marks the release of our latest musical endeavour, a cover of the timeless classic, ‘Cherish.’

Let me take you on a journey through the heart and soul of Lockestock as we delve into the story behind this upcoming release. Crafting a cover is always a unique challenge — it’s a delicate balance between paying homage to the original and injecting our essence into the mix. ‘Cherish’ has held a special place in the collective hearts of the band for as long as we can remember. Its melodies have been a backdrop to our journeys, and the lyrics have whispered to us through the soundtrack of our lives.

Choosing ‘Cherish’ wasn’t just about revisiting a classic; it was about capturing the essence of a song that has woven itself into the fabric of our memories. As we embarked on this musical adventure, we knew we were treading on hallowed ground. How do you reinvent something so iconic while staying true to its core? It’s a question that kept us up at night, fueled our creative debates, and ultimately led us to a realization — the power of cherishing moments.

The process of crafting our version of ‘Cherish’ wasn’t just about rearranging notes or tweaking chords; it was about distilling the very emotions that make this song timeless. The whole Lockestock family, poured our hearts into every nuance, every inflection, and every beat. It was a journey of rediscovery — peeling back the layers of familiarity to uncover the emotional core of the song.

Lewis, with his unique lyrical prowess, injected a rhythmic energy into the song. His rap elements, carefully woven into the fabric of ‘Cherish,’ add a contemporary edge, inviting a new generation to connect with the ageless beauty of the lyrics. It’s a testament to the universal nature of music — a bridge between the past and the present.

As a band, we pride ourselves on our ability to seamlessly blend genres, and ‘Cherish’ presented the perfect canvas for this fusion. The Pop, the Rock, the Hip-Hop — they all come together in a harmonious dance, creating a sonic experience that is distinctly Lockestock. The arrangement, the instrumentation, every sonic detail — it’s a collaborative effort that reflects the essence of who we are.

Now, let’s talk about this Friday, the 19th of January 2024. As the release day approaches, there’s a mix of excitement and nerves in the Lockestock camp. We’re not just putting out a cover; we’re presenting a piece of our hearts to you, our extended family. We invite you to join us on this journey, to listen with open hearts and open ears, and to feel the magic of ‘Cherish’ in a way you’ve never felt before.

So, why ‘Cherish’? Because, in the end, it’s a word that holds a universe of emotions. It’s a sentiment that transcends generations, a reminder to hold on to the fleeting moments that make life beautiful. Our rendition of ‘Cherish’ is a musical celebration of those moments — a homage to the past and an offering to the future.
