August shares stunning acoustic video of his new single ‘Chemical’
August, now the solo project of London indie pop artist Steve Hughes, has released a video of a stunning acoustic performance of his brand new single Chemical. I am absolutely in love with his voice and the song is beautiful. Those piano keys and his vocals just make the song soar even higher than the studio version! Check it out below!


Chemical is an epic yet delicate song about rekindling a love growing cold and takes inspiration from the word ‘passion’ originally meaning ‘willing to suffer’. Hughes explains,
To truly love is to walk through both joy and suffering, this song is about trying to handle both of these opposing forces.

Check out the studio version here! With each release so far, August has unveiled a gift for anthemic songwriting in the shape of previous singles Sword, Ghosts, and Cruel (as a duo and my favourite track).
