There is a moment in every alt-rock song where a lyric, beat, or chord can totally change how you feel and keep you listening in a way you didn’t expect. Luke Fitzgerald’s new single hits that moment, and what happens next is something every alt-rock fan needs to hear.
Luke Fitzgerald is back with his solo project, Deflecting Ghosts, and his dark, gripping single, “Passion of the Scorned.” Released on September 13, 2024, this alt-rock song is a powerful follow-up to his earlier hit, “Lost My Mind.” This new song dives deep into the Devil’s voice and explores why people do bad things. According to Fitzgerald, “This track is about those moments when our thoughts don’t feel like our own anymore, and you can’t fight the voice.”
Heathcliff from The Lions Ground Entertainment Group gave feedback, saying, “The vocal delivery brings all the right intensity for the genre, making it resonate with alt-rock lovers. The instrumental arrangement is equally effective, providing a haunting atmosphere that keeps listeners hooked.”
The song is in D Minor, with a tempo of 140 BPM. It has high energy (90 on the scale) and dark, powerful lyrics that give it that classic alt-rock weight. The liveness score of 34 makes it sound a bit raw, like a live performance, which alt-rock fans love for its realness. The cover art matches this mood, a black-and-white distorted image that fits the haunting feeling of the song.
The song fits in with the alt-rock trends of 2024, focusing on strong emotions and raw, real energy. This trend has helped artists like LØLØ and Dead Pony get noticed this year. Fitzgerald’s take on temptation, mixed with intricate compositions, makes him stand out while still staying true to the genre.
