Flawes Share ‘Don’t Count Me Out (Lowlights Version)’
Following the release of their debut album Highlights earlier this year, British alt-pop trio Flawes have just shared a brand new EP titled Lowlights, a project that consists of four songs taken from the album, and stripped back to their rawest form.
One of the standouts from this EP is the song Don't Count Me Out which I am LOVING! I am a fan of the original but I am quite a sucker for stripped-back versions and this one is stunning! The Lowlights version of Don't Count Me Out allows for the listener to focus on Josh Carruthers' stunning vocals which are packed with raw emotion and flow effortlessly over a lush piano-based melody. This EP gives the listener an opportunity to get to know the band on a much deeper level and I think you guys will love this song. If you're into piano-based songs with gorgeous vocals, raw and honest emotion and an overall intimate atmosphere, then you'll love this new version of Don't Count Me Out and as well the other 3 songs. Check it out below!
Speaking about the EP, the band said,
‘Lowlights’ is a selection of songs from our debut album that have been stripped right down to their bare bones. We love to create a huge wall of sound when playing live, so to mix things up we decided to challenge ourselves and take the complete opposite approach. The songs are so exposed, there’s almost nowhere to hide. ‘Don’t Count Me Out’ in particular is literally just a piano and vocal, taking the song right back to where it started life.
