Based out of Barcelona, Spain, is singer-songwriter David English, and he's recently released his new song, "The Secret." Since its release in April, it's gone on to eclipse all of his previous tracks on Spotify as far as plays go, and we totally get why, as it's got such wide appeal.
... a nostalgic slow-burner with heartfelt lyrics, smooth guitar, and vocals that feel like a long-lost '90s gem rediscovered.
Speaking about the song he says - "This song was written in two parts, separated by a long gap. I had the verse and melody, followed by the chorus, but then I couldn't understand what I had created. The verse seemed about longing, while the chorus hinted at a secret love always with me."
Smooth guitar opening before some simplistic percussive moments come in to give the track some bite. The track then has David's signature heartwarming vocals come rolling by, with the tones reminding me of some obscure music my father used to listen to back in the mid-90s (not sure who it was but it's giving me some nostalgic vibes).
Lyrically, "The Secret" is honest and emotive and showcases a lot of why English has got over 21k plays on his music, all organically too! So if you adored this as much as we did be sure to check out his other tracks.
