Conleth revealed: “The sound and look for this particular record was inspired by 'Erasure', a band I adored growing up. The song is very 80's!"

"City of the Lost Boys” is a love song to his adopted London where he has found new fame and fortune as a song writer and artist. It is upbeat, a happy song revealing how much London has meant to this Irish boy.
