This week’s edition of LITM Singer-Songwriter Picks features pieces from Paul Claxton, and more!
Paul Claxton - “Is There Something Else?”
Hailing from Liverpool and now based in London, Paul Claxton’s presence has graced many a stage of musical legends; from indie names to punk legends — and on his latest single, “Is There Something Else?”, he brings a soft, yet mildly haunting sound to the fore. Dotted with skilled vocal harmonies that bring polish and embellishment to the song, the rest of the ensemble sways in a gentle dance; while the clean electrics in the background twang akin to country folk music. Wrap this in a warm, inviting sound, and you have yourself a winner for the ages— check it out here!
John Kampouropoulos - “Hero And A Crucifix”
John Kampouropoulos, a versatile performer and songwriter, weaves tales spanning the present, past, and future through a vivid mural of musical styles ranging from from 60s pop to modern-day indie pop; and on his newest single, “Hero And A Crucifix”, he nails the balance between leaving some tension hanging in the air, and resolving one of it, through his skilled production and vocals. The ensemble is minimal yet effective, dotted by the fundamentals, which John gets scarily right; and with all this, leaves us excited as to what is to next come. Check it out here!
Starlight Alice - “Impatient”
UK-based singer-songwriter duo, Starlight Alice, are making a name for themselves as the UK’s next radio favourite, with their infectious folk sound that blends in a little bit of Americana, and pop to go with. Their latest single, “Impatient”, is a kick right into the goalpost, getting the basics dead-on; from the presentation and the articulation in the vocals, the mix feels alive and bubbling with energy; while the registers and the lyrics impress with their sheer diversity. Coupled with a wide, expansive sound and a warm, inviting sound in the mix, you have here a winner— check the track out here!
