“His latest single “I’m Just Human” is just another surprise, a powerful rock track that reflects Lukas Rossi’s style at its best. A new hit to enrich even more his incredible discography. Lukas’s outstanding performance behind the microphone is just another proof of his incredible talent, with a voice that shares the same vibes of the gods of this genre, like Cornell, Weiland, Cobain or Vedder.”
Planet Singer
“Lukas is an amazing singer and his vocal performance is impeccable once again. You can feel all the emotions behind the lyrics in every line and the passion in every tone. The instrumentals were properly laced, providing the perfect complement to Lukas’s voice. This isn’t a regular pop song and Lukas makes sure that you know it. It is sentimental, emotional and highly relatable. The lyrics talk about the pain from reminiscing on personal history and carries a message that shines through. The vocal diversity that he also brings to the track is impressive and allows the transitions to be flawless.”
Skope Magaizine
“The lyrical content of the track is an emotive commentary on his relationship with his family with lines like “my mother was a fiend and my father was a ghost” coupled with the realization that “no one can choose their family” expressing the pain felt through the remembrance of one’s history. This is truly a genre-blending track that will assuredly appease fans of slow-rock, pop and ballad lovers. Rossi’s diverse vocal color is certainly a stand out feature in this track and will leave you wanting to hit repeat multiple times to capture his flawless performance.”
Woke Chimp
“With a cover that’s darker than the pool of shadows within, the musicology has a slow synthetic that sounds like legends, authentic to the core, raw. With beauty cracks drip gold, without holding back, the conditions become known. Unfiltered, deglossed and almost apostolic – the creed that follows is one of the most human songs I’ve heard. Without excuses, the best foot put forward is a foot put forward.”
Red Carpet Living
“A sensitivity ties together Lukas Rossi’s powerful “I’m Just Human”. The track goes for a tenderness. Stylistically it draws from anthem rock, pop, with a bit of dance thrown in for good measure. It radiates with a sense of defiance as the lyrics reflect upon the power of overcoming. Over the course of the piece Lukas lets a unique form of architecture take hold. Beats bounces off each other. Melodies are woven together in a way that becomes ever more consuming. Highly ornate he proves to have a great ear for melody as they come together to create a kaleidoscopic rush, with vivid colors pouring in.”
Beach Sloth
“I’m Just Human is a sweeping affair, it is driven by a great dynamic, goes big when it needs to catch your attention, adopts hushed tones when it wishes to lull the listener and is filled with wonderful sentiment and relatability.
Remember when pop had something to say? Lukas Rossi does.”
DANCING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE
“After Supernova released one self-titled album in 2006 and toured in 2007, they packed it in 2008. Rossi – a Canadian first based in L.A. and now Nashville – went on as a solo artist, fronting such bands as Stars Down and Switchblade Glory and releasing several solo and band albums between 2010 and 2012. But his latest project, The Halo Method, may be his most high profile yet as it features former Papa Roach drummer Dave Buckner and former Evanescence co-founder-lead guitarist Ben Moody. They released their new single, Beauty Is the Beast, this fall.”
Toronto Sun
“Lukas Rossi’s song “Headspin” appeared on the platinum selling album by Rock Star Supernova, an album that ranked #101 on the Billboard charts, and ranked #4 in Canada selling over 100,000 copies.”
The Seeker
"I love when an artist takes a well known song and shreds it, rips out the insides, spins it around, and gives us something unexpectedly dark and haunting. Lukas Rossi does that with Adele’s Hello."
Real Rock N' Roll
“Rossi steps into different genres on this one. The thing about this record is that it will take him to a new level and pushes the boundaries. With only him and the acoustic, you can draw comparisons to City and Colour, Dustin Kensrue, and somewhat of the vocals style of Thriving Ivory. He steps into the more earthy side and involves some country and folk inspired depictions of his own songs like “Lay It on The Line.” “War” and “Science” are perfectly executed in the original vein they were intended.”
Tom Spinelli - Melodic.net
“Rossi took this on his own performing all instruments and producing the effort himself. “Hollywood” proves that Rossi doesn’t need to rely on others to show the world just how talented he really is. This album has every emotional moment documented; taking us on the journey of the supernova band, the ups and downs of labels and personal life. The music ranges from mainstream radio singles to harder edges songs that Rossi is known for.”

“It’s not very often an artist comes along with as much talent as Lukas Rossi. He has always been a brilliant songwriter and vocalist but producing has made him even better.
The new album, Hollywood, has a very distinctive and original sound that is just amazing. The songs are amazingly catchy and don’t leave your head, but that is a positive thing.”

“Lukas was interviewed by Richard Lynch at the Kweevak Radio Show. Listen to Podcast #128”
Richard Lynch - Kweevak Radio Show
“Lukas Rossi is back in 'Hollywood' with powerful new single -
“Hollywood” is vintage Rossi, anthemic Bowie-like vocals, on a driving ballad. Hollywood was not all it promised for Rossi, (”I don’t think this wonderland is for me, because I will never change") but the namesake song is Rossi at his best. Check out the video as well when it is released in the next few weeks, it will give you some insight into the intensity with which Lukas performs.
As he sings, "When the lights are out and the glitter swept away…," Lukas has the goods, and he delivers them big-time on his new single. Good looks, tattoos, piercings, eyeliner and cool gear aside, this guy can sing the hell out of a song, can write a killer melody, can play music like nobody's business, and will hopefully remain true to himself...just the way it should be done in Hollywood.
Lukas Rossi deserves attention. Give it to him.”

"When it's all said and done you better have your game in check - your own music, and your own dreams," he said. "You've got to take from it what you can. It's not a free ride, you've got to work hard every single day."
Nathan Denette - The Canadian Press
"The only thing that can actually save someone from that disaster is actually having talent," says Rossi. "If you don't have talent, you get 12 months on tour and some airtime."
