'Lonely Soul' by Unkle - Pitch Preparation

Name of artist: UNKLE

Song: Lonely Soul

Released in 1998 and found on the album Psyence Fiction.

Produced by DJ Shadow

Record label: Mo’Wax

Genre: Trip Hop, which was quite popular in the 1990s. The genre was established by Massive Attack with their album, ‘Blue Lines’, which was created as “music for the head”, rather than for the dance-floor. Therefore it is quite a downbeat and mellow style, similar to ambient.

Song does not have any music video, although there are a few unofficial versions on YouTube. They have produced videos for some of their other tracks, such as Burn My Shadow, which uses fast cuts and passionate acting to display the distress of the protagonist who wakes up with a timed bomb strapped to his chest.

Other videos have also been made to promote Unkle’s music, for such tracks as ‘Rabbit in Your Headlight’ and ‘Be there’.

The target audience for Lonely Soul, as well as other trip hop music, is young adult, approximately between the ages of 18 and 35.
