Howard Kaye Shares New Single ‘Three Years’
Brighton-based singer and songwriter Howard Kaye has just shared his brand new single Three Years, a heartfelt electro-pop song about struggling with loss.
Three Years is a very personal song for Howard Kaye has he lost his father just over 3 years ago and is his way to honour his memory and for all of us that have struggled with loss. This heartfelt song is wrapped around a polished production packed with a driving beat, bright synths and infectious percussion that beautifully back his emotive vocal delivery and honest storytelling. I am also very fond of the delicate and emotive piano chords and how the chorus is quite memorable, getting me hooked on the song right after the very first listen. Have a listen to this gem below!
Speaking about the song, Howard said,
A few months ago I was having a really tough time. The third anniversary of my Dad's death was getting closer and I was really struggling with that thought. I decided to write probably the most honest song I have ever written. I didn't care if it was ''too long for radio'' or ''not catchy enough'', I wanted to write this for me and only me. I never intended for anyone to hear it, however the song ended up meaning so much to me, I thought maybe there are people out there who can relate to these feelings. So this is no longer a song just for me, this is for anyone who is struggling, anyone who has lost someone and anyone who feels lost, you are not alone!
