Single Review - Is This Home - Stuart Landon



Like many of us, Stuart Landon is getting a bit fed up of being cooped up inside his four walls, so he’s written a song about it!  Not only has he written and recorded Is This Home, but he is putting it out only on Spotify so that everyone can stream it for free – a lockdown gift to us all.



For a song recorded in lockdown the production is great – and the sound is very much more like the sound of Stuart live, the raw and powerful edge to both his voice and the instrumentation – the keys, the guitar, the drums – especially the opening guitar licks that start the song off.



The song is about being locked in, but while it lists the issues of being “trapped inside” it isn’t a song of despair. The energy and the repeated line “I’m not alone” makes you feel the strength and that any form of lockdown isn’t necessarily forever.  Even when “the minutes feel like hours” there is still the hope of freedom!



Is This Home from Stuart Landon is available to stream on Spotify from 8 May
Find and follow Stuart on Facebook his website and of course, Spotify!
