Artist: Pat Dam Smyth
Single: Friends
Label: Monumental Music Group
OUT NOW
Rating: 4/5
This week Pat Dam Smyth is back with his new single Friends, which is the latest track to be taken from his debut album The Great Divide.
Friends is a track that blends elements of folk and punk as well as a dash of rock to create a truly superb song that has a real epic feel to it.
There is also a truthful element to this song as Smyth sings about the importance and value of real friendships - something he realised after his withdrawal from society suffering from melophobia (a fear of music).
There is a laid back start to this record but when the guitars kick in just short of the minute mark the song really bursts into life.
From this point Friends is a song that is bursting with energy - the guitars on this track really is fantastic and really drives the song forward.
Smyth is an artist that we should all be very excited about as he is a very truthful type of songwriter - not to mention his vocal on this is great.
Friends is one of the best singles that will be released this autumn and I am excited to hear the rest of the debut album.
