With music as intriguing as his name, this new talent offers this slice of dreamy music as his first gift to his listeners as he steps into the industry.
A delicate soundscape built on jangly guitars tinged with the gentle sampling of synths creates a hazy escape from the troubles of the world, as he employs an assuring and comforting vocal tones in the repetitive chorus as he sings “I’m bruising with you,”easing into an introverted reflection on the theme of friendship.
