‘Lock In’ opens with lush keys and shimmering percussion, as Lyre paints a vivid picture of infatuation, confessing his focus on a muse that has captured both his heart and imagination. BOJ slides in with a smooth verse of his own, mirroring the sentiment with his signature laid-back tone and effortless delivery.

Elevated by subtle saxophone flourishes and orchestral strings, the track not only showcases the pair’s musical synergy but also hints at the sonic direction of Lyre’s forthcoming album. Set to release on 26th June, 'SPIRAL' is shaping up to be a defining chapter for Tim Lyre.
