Aqui vai uma pequena actualização sobre o novo artista que vos dei a conhecer, Barry Southgate. Ele irá substituir Daniel Merriweather numa actuação com os Diafrix na Oxford Art Factory a 7 de Abril. O bom disto tudo é que o evento terá como cabeça de cartaz Tinie Tempah! Barry também partilhou connosco os títulos de algumas faixas do seu álbum Epithome: The Fall, Summer Night, You, Against A Wall e claro o belo tema Don't You Think? :)

Here's an update on Barry Southgate! The dreamy singer will be replacing Daniel Merriweather on a performance with Diafrix on April 7th at Oxford Art Factory. What is amazing is that the event will have Tinie Tempah as the headline! :) Yay Barry!! :) Barry also shared with us the titles of some tracks that will feature on his Epithome album (apart from the lovely Don't You Think? track):

The Fall

This is a fun, uptempo tune about falling for someone so hard, that you’re scared of moving too fast & turning them off (haha…).
Lyric excerpt: “Like you’re halfway up on a wall, almost reach the top and next thing you know… Then comes the fall…”.

Summer Night

This is the real love song of the project. About being in love, but having distance pull you apart. Richard Marx & the storytelling approach of Country music really inspired me throughout Epitome, but more than ever on this song. Really wanted to capture that classic ballad feel, while still keeping things modern.
Lyric excerpt: “And miles begin to fade, as we laugh the nights away…”.

You

The most R&B/Soul leaning track of the record, this is laced with a sick drum loop & wall-to-wall background vocals. It actually came to me while hanging out laundry, true story (haha…). The late, great King Of Pop (especially his Off The Wall record) really inspired my vocal stylings on Epitome & diehard fans will be able to hear that influence on this track.
Lyric excerpt: “Funny how life kinda takes you places, that you’ve always dreamt but never thought you’d go…”.

Against A Wall

This song (for me) is the most personal song on the whole project. Anyone can relate to feeling like they’re against a wall in some way, whether in a relationship, at their school/workplace, financially, emotionally, spiritually… The list goes on. Set against Pop/Rock leaning production, this one reaches almost a vocally orchestral climax at the end.
Lyric excerpt: “Standing with dust in my eyes out on the edge of a street, trying to get across, is what it feels like when you’re… Against a wall…”.

Excited to hear some of your new music Barry!!! :)
