Following the release of his newest single "Allow Me Say" he projects a very soothing sound that will certainly captivate your ears. Beginning the track with a slow beat leading onto his soft and luscious vocals he completes the track entirely. To the vocals and the production, he presents a very nostalgic and intriguing atmosphere that will surely get your body moving. Explaining the track further it's about how Living in London, he's always struck by how everyone literally fly past each other at a frantic pace, without ever really taking notice or stock of one another. We’re so absorbed in our own worlds. So he wanted to write a song that would put a pause on all that, where the chilled groove would be a conduit for starting a conversation that he think's personally is long overdue. Nothing in the lyrics is particularly ground-breaking or anything like that, but he just had this feeling that there was a lot to be gained, by encouraging people to ask the question "how many of [us] took a step outside [our] world today." But you know, in London you can’t just walk up to people and accost them like that, even if you’re doing a survey, you have to ask for permission, so that’s why the song is called "Allow Me Say." The track would be perfect for a late night drive or being alone within your thoughts. Go stream "Allow Me Say" and check out his discography which is filled with outstanding tracks.
