UK rapper Aitch has shared a fresh new release called "1989", ahead of his debut album Close to Home, which was announced earlier this week. Built on the irresistible hook from The Stone Roses’ iconic single “Fools Gold”, “1989” is a clever juxtaposition of two prominent musical eras, a bridge joining Manchester old and new, and a twin celebration of the city’s past and future. On "1989", Aitch combines the undeniable groove of the legendary Manchester anthem with his charismatic bars and sharp wordplay. Accompanied by a refreshingly fun-loving music video shot on the streets of his home city by UK creative Kelvin Jones, "1989" makes for a charming, witty offering.

Lively, punchy drums blend with infectious guitars to open "1989" in a vibrant manner, creating a vital backdrop for Aitch's smooth, clever verses. He weaves fluid lines together with ease, lacing each bar with clever, character-rich lyricism as he pays homage to his hometown of Manchester. Pairing influences from nostalgic sounds of past decades with fresh, modern stylings, "1989" is a focused and poised offering that finds him pulling from the best of Manchester's music from both prior eras and the present. "1989" is also accompanied by a visual that enhances the song's energizing feel through playful, action-packed shots, finding Aitch delivering a characteristically charismatic performance throughout.

A vibrant new offering that follows up his recent release "Baby" with Ashanti, “1989” is the second single from his debut album Close to Home, set for a summer release on August 19th.
