August Unveils new single ‘Heal’

August, the solo project of London indie pop artist Steve Hughes, is back with a brand new single called Heal. I am in love with its brooding opening, synth works, and the epic chorus of this track guys. Heal is an anthem reaching out for something bigger. Stream it below!

Speaking about Heal Hughes explains,

The initial idea came after a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. Myself, and a bunch of close friends, felt totally helpless seeing someone we cared about hit by tragedy so young and all we could do was hope for a miracle. HEAL taps into that desire for hope to reach into a dark place.

With each release so far, August has unveiled a gift for emotive song writing, in the shape of previous singles such Ghosts and Chemical which both received radio support from BBC Introducing and BBC 6 MUSIC.

The inspiration behind the moniker, August came from an old song Hughes wrote previously with the same name, and it was also the month he started working on this new project. August has recently appeared live supporting Meadowlark & Frida Sundemo and has previously supported 21 Pilots. There will be more live shows happening later this year.
