RISING STAR FINN ASKEW UNVEILS NEW SINGLE 'CHERRY BOMB'
Finn Askew has today released 'Cherry Bomb', the latest single from the remarkable new UK talent. Listen HERE.
Hailing from a sleepy market town in Somerset, the 19-year-old singer-songwriter could scarcely be further removed from any sort of music scene, and yet he’s raising the bar for the rest of the industry with his soulful yet alternative inspired sound.
Wildly eclectic in his outlook, Finn actively rejects the concept of genre constraints and takes a magpie-like approach to song-writing, creating exciting new hybrids in the process. R&B, jazz, rap, emo and indie-rock all coalesce with stunning results for the VEVO DSCVR One To Watch artist.
Of the track Finn says "When I first heard the piano riff I fell in love and knew that it was special! Shoutout Earl, Max and Rob for making the tune what it is! Wanted to come back from the first project with something different before really showing off my sound which is yet to come."
'Cherry Bomb' is a fresh and exciting taste of things to come for this genre-defying artist. Stay tuned for more from Finn Askew in 2021.
ABOUT FINN ASKEW:
For proof that remarkable talent can flourish in the most unexpected places, look no further than Finn Askew. Hailing from a sleepy market town in Somerset, the 19-year-old singer-songwriter could scarcely be further removed from any sort of music scene, and yet he’s raising the bar for the rest of the industry with his soulful yet streetwise sound.
As engaging and passionate in person, as he is on record, today Finn recalls a near-idyllic childhood in the countryside, shielded from the harsher realities of city living. He describes his home life as happy, his family as creative, and credits his father for his early appreciation of music. Guitar tuition was sought and subsequently abandoned as Finn grew frustrated at the rigor of lessons, and in a display of - what would prove to be - characteristic independence, he simply continued to experiment on the instrument alone.
He draws on all of this in his songwriting today. Wildly eclectic in his outlook, Finn actively rejects the concept of genre constraints and takes a magpie-like approach to songwriting, creating exciting new hybrids in the process. R&B, jazz, rap, emo, and indie-rock all coalesce on his forthcoming debut EP, with stunning results.
