The Longing: Come On

Spectacularly gritty prog-metal-rock, laced with deliciously crystalline vocals, catapult onto UK shores as the highly acclaimed, The Longing, deliver their captivating new single ‘Come On’, on 24 March; with a fresh new album of all-original songs planned for the Autumn. With previous singles scooping countless radio airplay in the UK and 18 countries worldwide, plus UK Record of the Week, as well as numerous TV and movie slots including MTV, The Cannes Film Festival and a score for William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, The Longing are a force to be reckoned with and their sound for 2017 surpasses anything they’ve delivered musically to date.

‘Come On’ is Laura’s first fight with God. A musical battle where instruments are the swords and Laura’s divine high-pitched vocals are the battle cry. Undergoing a massive questioning of faith in the universe following a string of catastrophic events in her personal life and in the world in general, Laura was seriously putting God to task. The song depicts a goading of the greater beings above to ‘come on, bring it on, I want answers for everything you’re throwing at us’. “It’s a fabulous song to sing, such a performance, almost a progressive metal prayer. I feel so good after singing this song,” comments Laura. Laura constantly delves into the depths of emotion, fantastically bringing her listener on a musical journey as she addresses difficult subjects through her lyrics. Every word is a diamond, sparkling in the listeners’ mind and ‘Come On’ is a vibrant wake-up call, which demands everyone takes notice.
