Flowing like a smooth river, “Water” by Belgian singer-songwriter Diego Philips opens up with lo-fi piano strums that introduces his velvet-soft voice, before the tempo accelerates and your heartbeat follows suit. The essence of violins accompanying the outro of the song leaves you in a dreamy state, almost like you’ve been transported to another realm of relaxation

“Water” is the first release from Philips’ upcoming EP “I Want to Laugh Until I Cry”, and it will be available on all streaming platforms on the 30th of August. Based in London, Philips has been performing all over the city for a decade and continues to spread his musical genius throughout the world by blending genres and bending reality with soundscapes that defy gravity itself. 

More music will be coming soon since his EP “I Want to Laugh Until I Cry” will be released on the 13th of December, which promises to dive deeper into similar themes with influences by artists such as Jose Gonzalez, Patrick Watson, and Nick Drake. 

Storytelling is credited as one of Philips’ core ingredients in songwriting as he weaves tales of love and spirituality with melancholic themes of sadness. He has two other albums under his belt that prove testament to his growth, and he will resume his Indie ventures with upcoming releases that are both relatable and admirable. Way to go, Philips!
