J.W. Darwin’s first solo release sees the Middlesbrough singer combine catchy melodies with a gorgeous sonic palette to produce a stunning indie pop single.
Beginning with a gorgeously rich textured synth line that fills the sonic canvas, Darwin builds an atmosphere that showcases his heart-on-sleeve approach to songwriting.
The result is a hearty dose of indie pop reminiscent of singer songwriters such as Hozier. The big pop chorus feels earned by the careful preparation that Darwin takes to build the tension within the verses, fulfilling the melodic potential of the track.
Attention has been paid to ensure the songwriting keeps you on your toes, with a tempo shift in the second verse accompanied by a bright guitar line dancing throughout.
Overall, the catchy melodies and smart production make this a great track to check out.
