Flyght Club’s latest single, “Slow Burn,” is the blues-rock anthem that perfectly blends raw emotion with virtuosic guitar work. With echoes of Jeff Buckley and David Gilmour, this track is an emotional slow-burner you didn’t know you needed.
Eight years ago, with a mission to make his mark indelible, Shauvik Sharan touched down in Los Angeles. Now, as the mastermind behind Flyght Club, he's turning that vision into reality. Originally from Pune, India, he transitioned from playing guitar in local bands to DJing, which sparked his journey into electronic music. In LA, he developed his skills in production, engineering, singing, and songwriting, ultimately launching Flyght Club as a reflection of his diverse musical experiences.
As a solo artist, Shauvik writes, produces, performs, and mixes all his tracks, embracing a versatile approach that spans multiple genres. He has collaborated with well-known artists like Jason Derulo and performed at iconic venues such as Whisky a Go Go and The Viper Room.
Flyght Club’s latest outing and the one we’re bringing you today is titled "Slow Burn," and it’s a virtuous, melancholic rock ballad highlighting the helplessness of watching love fade without a clear cause, much like a candle running out of wick.
“I wanted the verses to musically and sonically be sweet enough to make it clear that no specific events or actions turned the relationship sour. It was just time that drove the couple apart.”
— Shauvik Sharan

The track has been described as bluesy, and while the slow, guitar-driven ballad certainly captures that melancholy essence, it also echoes the tender, melodic spirit of Jeff Buckley and Roy Orbison. With an operatic, progressive flair that builds up to an incredible wailing solo around the 4-minute mark, it subtly channels the sweet, soulful tone of David Gilmour. This last part is the song’s send-off and is also an absolute treat for any steel-string lovers.
Flyght Club’s “Slow Burn” is brilliantly composed, executed, and refined, and absolutely worth the listen. You can genuinely hear the Floyd and Clapton influences shining through in a completely organic way. Flyght Club is a must-have on your playlist rotation.
