Bertie Newman Shares New Single ‘Razored Glass’

British singer-songwriter Bertie Newman returns with a heartfelt, personal indie-folk gem called Razored Glass. 

 

What I like the most about this song is its warmth and how soothing and comforting Bertie Newman's vocals sound. Razored Glass finds the talented artist exploring the initial feelings of grief, especially when you lose someone so suddenly, making you feel like you weren't good enough to see the signs and you start playing things back in your head but from their perspective. Maybe things weren't as good as you thought. 

 

A whirlwind of thoughts and feelings that are flawlessly conveyed through Bertin Newman's heartfelt vocal delivery that exudes so much soul and raw emotion that is enhanced by hauntingly beautiful harmonies. Backing those enchanting vocals we have delicate acoustic guitar and banjo riffs that are seamlessly intertwined with stunning strings and steady percussive elements that come together to create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere packed with so much heart and touches of melancholia.

Speaking about the song Bertie shares

Razored glass explores the initial feelings of grief. When losing someone to suicide you feel as if you haven’t been good enough and this is the main premise of the song. The way in which that feeling is explored is by telling the story of the last time I saw that person alive. It talks about how that persons perspective must’ve been so much darker than your own. How you might’ve felt you were having the best time but actually the opposite is true.
