Best of October 2023

Just Let it In

Don't Take It Personally

‘The Wailers’ (released 1st October 2023) is the first single from UK-based singer-songwriter, Man With A Corduroy Heart. 

‘The Wailers’ is a lofi-folk song, layered with jazz guitar and recorded using cassette tapes. It’s a song about becoming a dad and trying to get the baby to sleep through the music of Bob Marley. 

It’s peppered with Marley references, as the opening verse tells:  ‘Your little baby face brings out the sun / Your hand holds my finger and I think Is This Love? / But then something turns and clouds start to rain / And if I think that you’re gonna stop crying I’ll be Waiting In Vain’.

While Man With A Corduroy Heart is a new artist to 2023, the man behind it, Ryan Davies, isn’t new to the scene. By day Ryan is an audio engineer: “Unlike my day-to-day work where artists want perfect and pristine mixes, here I wanted to do one-takes and embrace unwanted noise like hissing and pops, go back to using cassettes and let the song do the work rather than the mix!”
