Dublin’s rising singer-songwriter Lex Bucha is poised to capture hearts once again with the release of his second solo single, ‘Now You Know’. Following a career of crafting tracks for other artists and a well-received collaboration in 2024, Lex is stepping boldly into the limelight with music that feels deeply personal and cathartic.
After turning heads last year with his collaboration with Orla Monelle, Lex secured spots on Irish playlists like New Irish Songs and Made in Ireland, while earning airplay on BBC Introducing. These achievements symbolized a pivotal moment in his journey. Having spent years in the background supporting others, he’s now ready to share his own voice, shedding light on his personal journey through his evocative sound.
‘Now You Know’ is a heartfelt electro-pop ballad that tackles themes of reconciliation, emotional healing, and inner peace. The song’s lyrics unfold like a diary entry, addressing a loved one whose actions once caused pain, yet who later showed an unexpected depth of support. It’s a narrative Lex delivers with haunting sincerity, set against atmospheric production and lush, layered synths.
“’Now You Know’ is about a specific moment in my life where a person who had consistently let me down actually showed up for me,” Lex shares. This candid reflection underscores the song’s emotional resonance, inviting listeners into a moment of raw vulnerability and personal growth.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Annie Lennox, Troye Sivan, and Hurts, Lex’s sound is a masterful blend of emotive storytelling and cinematic soundscapes. His collaboration with Alex Yardley and Sarah Keane on this track highlights a synergy that enriches his already dynamic artistry.
With ‘Now You Know’, Lex Bucha demonstrates his knack for creating music that is both deeply introspective and universally relatable. As he embarks on what promises to be an exciting year of new releases, this single serves as a powerful reminder of the healing potential found in honesty and connection.
