LUMINECHO, the solo project of multi-faceted producer and artist Juan Riera Gomez, releases its debut single, “Half Truths,” on December 1st, 2023. This captivating track blends elements of R&B, indie, glitch EDM, and drum and bass, creating a unique and atmospheric sound that pushes genre boundaries.
“Half Truths” delves into the complexity of human relationships, exploring the subtle lies we tell others—and ourselves. The song reflects on the tension between silence and truth, and the consequences that arise when honesty is sacrificed for ease. With a soundscape that shifts between dreamy and glitchy textures, and driven by both soulful melodies and crisp electronic beats, LUMINECHO creates an emotional journey through the cracks in communication.
The lyrics of “Half Truths” mirror the sonic depth of the track. Lines like “I know you try your best, but that’s the easiest way to hurt somebody else” and “Those plastic secrets are only lies that hide within you and I” resonate with anyone who has struggled with the weight of unspoken truths. The chorus further drives the message home with a call to face reality: “Say what you’ve gotta say, you’re gonna play your part.”
