Nico Cann captures the pure essence of innocence with "Lose My Mind"

London-based pop-rock musician Nico Cann takes a step into something more serious and thoughtful with his latest single, "Lose My Mind." The track, produced by longtime collaborator Thomas Mitchener, is infused with emotional clarity and vintage energy, capturing the cozy embrace of memories while exuding a razor-sharp quality that places it right at home alongside modern pop-rock.

FORM The Roland Jazz Chorus 120 riff that anchors "Lose My Mind" is something you feel immediately both physically and emotionally. The song is cast in the mold of a late-night confession and blooms into a searching guitar solo by Nico's close friend Nicholas Richards, bringing the track to a climactic, cleansing end. But behind its glittering production is something profoundly human: a yearning for a time that may never have truly existed, for the innocence of love in adolescence before the complications of life began.

You'll hear echoes of Bruce Springsteen's rugged storytelling, Jack Antonoff's cinematic mood-making, and the raw ache Sam Fender infuses into his songs. Still, Nico tilts that all into something that feels decidedly intimate, earnest, and alive.

 "Lose My Mind" captures that 1980s spirit of freedom and inventiveness perfectly, a homage to the hope and creativity of a generation that flat-out refused to be pigeonholed. Nico reminds us that those valuables still matter, that art can still shed light on the weighty obscurations of growing up.
