Starting off the new year with his debut song, “You Wish,” Trev Lukather expands his solo music career into the sonic depths of the 80s. Using wider and fuller sounding drum reverbs started this song off perfectly. Adding a more vintage display from the large sound of the synthesizer and complex guitar riffs are what make “You Wish” a banger. The production that went into the creation of this tune has a mix of today's pop almost defining it as glam rock. Self liberation is the message that lies beneath the surface on this track, or is it the sad reality of wanting to be something we’re not: “Cause you can’t be me and I know you wish”.
After many years of working with the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Halestorm, Lukather started on his own projects. He formed the band LEVERA which unfortunately disbanded right after their first album release. “You wish” is his coming of age masterpiece or his way of becoming his own established artist which adds the message of being “Unapologetically Himself”: “Im set free when you're lying to yourself in the midst”. With the inspiration from his dad Steve Lukather of TOTO and his mom Marie Currie twin sister of Cherrie Currie from The Runaways. Trev had some tremendous help with creating “You Wish”, from big names such as Steve Maggiora of TOTO and Jake Hayden of Dorothy. Keep a look out for Trev’s first solo album Invisible Friends coming soon in 2023.
