Laertis, the Athens-born, London-based guitarist and singer-songwriter, has recently unveiled his latest track “Let Her Say“, a fusion of Latin rhythms and groovy character, with raw vocals enriched by a spacious sound production. This unique blend was made possible by the talented producer Adam Bonser.
“Let Her Say” is not merely another Mediterranean Soul track in Laertis’ discography; it bears a deeper personal narrative as the song serves as a one-sided confrontation with his homeland, Greece.
The country is metaphorically depicted as a female figure, symbolising the profound and complex connection Laertis has with his roots.
Laertis’ musical approach in “Let Her Say” bears resemblance to the minimal instrumentation in Jose Gonzales’ ‘Heartbeats’. By employing a fingerstyle classical guitar technique, he gives the lyrics center stage, allowing the listener to fully immerse in the song’s narrative.
Laertis’ passion for diverse musical genres is unmistakable. He has been engaging with a range of genres, from soul, folk, Afro-Latin, Greek to jazz, aiming to create music that resonates with his listeners on various levels. His experimental journey has shaped a unique sound that sets him apart in the contemporary music scene.
Performing, either solo or with his band consisting of a drummer, a bassist, and a guitarist, is another passion for Laertis. Through his performances, he brings his compositions to life, evoking vibrant emotions with his groovy guitars and soulful vocals.
His lyrics, often self-reflective and touching upon themes of existence, humanity, love, and internal struggle, further enhance the emotional depth of his music.
“Let Her Say” stands as another testament to Laertis’ commitment to crafting meaningful and emotion-evoking music. As he continues his journey in the music industry, his contributions are expected to touch more listeners with their unique blend of various music genres and deep narratives.
