"Fine" by sole-trader was released earlier this year, but it's since seen a re-release as the opening song of his new album, "Sole Music".
... a sound that feels both fresh and instantly classic.
The opening song of the 18-track album is a shimmering example of the Brighton-based artist's distinct voice combined with his alt-pop sounds.
Right from the get-go, there's a fresh guitar sound, so fresh that you're transported to the summertime with your mates and a case of cider. It's rather RnB in places, especially with the vocal melodies, but the track still hits hard for us. I loved the chiming guitar in the background of the track, reminding you that this is a track from a scene where indie/rock music reigns king.
It's so finely polished off that it's almost sounding like a classic in the genre. We can see this doing so well in the coming months, too. So if you liked this as much as we did, be sure to delve into the other 17 tracks on the new album; it's a standout introduction to an artist unafraid to blur genre lines.
