Liverpool artist Addley emerges with a sound that blends a live pop feel with exciting dance hits. Known particularly for his pensive vocals, Addley takes influence from Florence + The Machine, London Grammar & Sam Fender. Performing across the UK, Addley is building a committed fanbase, and receiving acclaim from the music press.
Now, Addley is back once again with a climactic new single, the positive, raw, shaking energy of a night out personified with his unique sound in ‘Say It Anyway’. As the powerful piano chords enter, those who are fans will feel there is more to come, but new listeners will receive the full momentousness of the percussion punching out and the dreamy vocal performance emerging.
The lead synths float out from the speakers, the emotions flourish and listeners are flung into a chorus with layers of power, fuelled by a high-energy synth pluck and forward-moving bass. Addley’s voice gets progressively more passionate, the emotion shining a light from his very core, unable, or unwilling to hide his feelings any longer going into a huge final chorus.
Addley shares, “‘Say It Anyway’ is about starting to lose someone you care about. It’s about knowing change is coming and that you can’t stop it, but desperately wanting to slow it down. It’s about giving into tension and having your final words with someone but wanting to keep them for as long as you can… even if it’s just to argue and fight.”
