Luka Kuplowsky é um músico canadiano de Ontario que lança este ano o seu mais recente álbum intitulado Stardust através das editoras Mama Bird Recording Co. e Next Door Records.
Stardust é um álbum que se destaca pelo seu cariz introspectivo, assente em melodias ternas e delicadas, sublinhadas pelos vocais suaves e dinâmicos de Luka Kuplowsky.
As líricas retratam relações afectivas de uma forma directa, mas com uma imagética poética que se distende por metáforas e confissões intimistas, harmonizando plenamente com as melodias.
Neste álbum, Luka colaborou com vários músicos que o acompanharam com os respectivos instrumentos nas onze canções do disco. Stardust é um album com uma génese melancólica, mas que oferece ao ouvinte um escapismo emocional criado por uma ponte empática construída pelo cantautor.
