Sometimes it doesn’t take grand gestures, just the certainty that someone will be there for you. Lemon captures this feeling perfectly in ‘I’ll Be Near’ – a song that feels like a warm blanket when the world outside seems a little colder. Friendship is not a new theme, but Lemon gives it a fresh, honest touch. No kitsch, no pathos, just a promise: ‘You are not alone.’ Musically, the band moves once again in its own unique cosmos between soul rock, indie funk and a touch of Madchester. A groove that carries, a voice that creates intimacy, and a production that leaves room for emotion. You can sense that Lemon doesn’t just write songs, but paints moods. The band’s live performances show that they have long since transcended genre boundaries – most recently at Paradiso Amsterdam, where they literally made the audience float. ‘I’ll Be Near’ fits seamlessly into this energy: a track you send to friends when words fail you, and yet says it all. In short, Lemon deliver not just a song, but a piece of soul food – exactly what we need in these times.
