Murdo Mitchell Shares New Single ‘Aztec Jewel’
British singer and songwriter Murdo Mitchell has just shared his brand new single Aztec Jewel, the title track of his latest EP out now via Icons Creating Evil Art.
I am a fan of his distinctive, raspy vocals and how they are packed with raw emotion, perfectly capturing the listener's attention to his honest, vulnerable lyricism. The most upbeat track off of the EP, Aztec Jewel still maintains the emotional intensity Mitchell is known for. We can really feel the passion pouring from his vocals which glide beautifully over bold guitar riffs, steady drum patterns and a chorus perfect to sing along to. Aztec Jewel is a captivating song perfect for a long summer's drive and laid-back days out in the sun. Have a listen to this powerful gem below!
Mitchell explains the track,
Aztec Jewel is probably the most middle of the road song I’ve written but it just felt like it should go that way & so sometimes when you write a song you just have to go where the song takes you rather than fighting hard with it & trying to pull it into something that it’s not. It’s a song that rises and rises - when writing it I imagined my full band in a room all just jamming it out round after round & I’m sure that’s the feeling you’ll get when you listen to it in the last section.
