Christy O'Donnell's 'Remember Me Well' Is A "Beautiful Wall Of Sound"

It's another hint of his incoming EP...

Glasgow's Christy O'Donnell has always had a deep emotional connection to music.

Beginning to play guitar at a teen, it seemed to unlock something inside of him, allowing him to access his emotions in a new way.

“It was like being blind and discovering colour,” he says. “When I felt bad I didn’t know how to deal with it until I found music.”

Writing his own songs, locating his own sense of expression, Christy will release his new EP shortly.

New single 'Remember Me Well' lands on May 8th, and it's a grand, alluring "wall of sound".

Dominated by that driving, surging vocal, it's the sound of someone's talent, of their message, coming into focus.

"I wanted to buildup to this beautiful wall of sound," he comments, "like I’m in a summer’s garden, like I’m sitting on the grass with all these flowers growing up around me."

"The track features a solitary violin which swells and opens into a rich musical soundscape: this trajectory from introspection to full-blown expression is something that first struck me in the music of Bon Iver, so I tried to model in on that. Let me know how you like it!"

Tune in now.

Mercury Nominated Rapper Ty Has Died

He had contracted coronavirus...

Mercury nominated rapper Ty has died, it has been confirmed.

The British-Nigerian artist - real name Ben Chijioke - was much loved figure within the UK hip-hop community, both for his warm, outgoing personality and his skills on the mic.

Nominated for the Mercury with his album 'Upwards', he contracted coronavirus earlier this year.

Admitted to hospital, an online fundraising account was set up to aid him, and it was reported earlier in the week that his condition had improved.

Sadly, The Voice has confirmed tonight - May 7th - that Ty has passed away at the age of 47.

Enormously sad news, his passing has prompted a wave of mourning across UK music.

If ever there was a time to discover your new favourite MC, or to re-visit some old classics, it's now.
