RHODES
RHODES
burst onto the scene in 2014, with ‘Your Soul’ gaining popularity – over 500,000
views on MrSuicideSheep’s YT channel (one which is an absolute killer source
for new music btw). Since he surfaced he’s released 4 EPs and a few singles,
all of which point towards him being the next big thing.
As far
as I’m concerned the singer-songwriter hailing from Hertfordshire has already
sold me on his upcoming debut album: Wishes,
which drops September 4th. Combining influences from folk and
bathing them in majesty as they soar into their triumphant choruses, there is a
softness in his work – his voice keeps it on the fringe of easy listening.
RHODES’
latest single ‘Close Your Eyes’ is a must-listen, it’s the kind of intense
sound the charts have been missing lately. The same goes for recent single ‘Somebody’
– its dramatic piano gives a cinematic air to the piece, while RHODES own
velvety yet raw voice allows for one to easily place his music in a mental
soundtrack for an imaginary film.
If you
do happen to go and check RHODES out, first of all go hit up his Live-Lounge’s
on YT, they’re incredible (here’s his Florence cover – it’s massive). My
recommendation is his song ‘Worry’ from his first EP Raise Your Love, it opens on Keaton Henson-esque guitar riffs, but
soon transcends the mellow acoustic stage with one hell of a finishing peak; if
Wishes sounds like this I’ll be
buying it for sure.
RHODES
has his own sound, it’s not overly unique or imposing but it is his, and it is
wonderful – go indulge yourself in his bliss here.
