"Ludwig Van” is high on fun, an early contender for your earworm of 2024. It is an homage to classical music and the sheer exuberance of new artistic discovery, with Atticus Roness rewriting the rules of power pop with a single that will have you pumping your fist and packing dance floors. Brimming with soaring harmonies, crunchy guitars, and a vocal performance that commands your attention, this track is an homage to Beethoven, a statement that Roness’ creativity knows no bounds.
“Ludwig Van” is a tip of the hat to one of history’s greatest composers, that electrifying moment when music reaches the soul. Roness, spurred by what had recently been a deep dive into classical music, turns this enthusiasm into a song full of urgency, excitement, and an unmistakable melodic sense. A nod to alt-rock, pop-rock, and the Britpop era, the Caleb Heiple-produced track takes inspiration from the golden influences of The Beatles, Oasis, Big Star, and Teenage Fanclub. It is a contemporary power pop anthem, yet somehow timeless and exhilarating.
The song’s significance sinks in as if through the sound. The accompanying animated music video, animated by acclaimed animator Beth Leak, evokes Roness’ artistic world in a visually stunning and emotionally resonant manner. The animation conveys that this is what Ludwig Van is about—a celebration of the musicality of artistic passion, discovering and falling in love with music that never leaves you long after the last note fades.
With “Ludwig Van,” Roness demonstrates he’s not just a songwriter. He’s a musical storyteller, blending the past and present to craft something truly special. This brings it all home if you enjoy classical music, power pop, or great songs. So turn it up, let the harmonies wash over you, and prepare to feel that thrill of musical discovery anew.
